[Verse]
E A
It's Midnight at a liquor store in Texas
E B
Closing time another day is done
E A
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
E B E
He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun
A
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
E B
Then he lets the old man run out in the street
E A
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
E B E
already he can feel that great relief
[Chorus]
E D A
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
E B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E D A
Don't you think they'd love to start all o-ver
E B E
And fly like eagles out among the stars
[Verse]
E A
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
E B
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
E A
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
E B7 E
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives
[Chorus]
E D A
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
E B7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
E D A
Don't you think they'd love to start all o-ver
E B E F
And fly like eagles out among the stars (Key Change - F Actual (Db))
[Verse]
F Bb
The evening news carries all the details
F C
He dies in every living room in town
F Bb
And in his own a bottle is thrown in anger
F C F
And his father cries we'll never live this down
[Chorus]
F Eb Bb
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
F C7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
F Eb Bb
Don't you think they'd love to start all o- ver
F C F
And fly like eagles out among the stars
[Outro]
F C Bb F C F
And fly like eagles out among the stars
