[Intro]
E A/E E B7 E A/E F#m E B7 E A/E E
[Verse 1]
N.C. E A/E It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas N.C. E B7 Beneath the neon, close up has just begun. N.C. E A/E F#m When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol N.C. E B7 E He can't find a job with man but he has found a gun
[Verse 2]
N.C. E A/E Well he pulls it off, no trace of confrontation N.C. E B7 He let the old man run out in the street. N.C. E A/E F#m But he knows soon they come, guns blazing N.C. E B7 E And all ready he can feel that great relief.
[Chorus]
E D/A A/E Oh how many travelers get weary E B7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars E D/A A/E Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining N.C. E B7 E and fly like eagles out among the stars.
[Verse 3]
N.C. E A/E He pictures the arrival of their consternation N.C. E B7 Sees that old familiar anger in their tears N.C. E A/E F#m He knows as they pull their guns and shoot this loser N.C. E B7 E A/E They'll be aiming at the demon in their eyes.
[Chorus]
E D/A A/E Oh how many travelers get weary E B7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars E D/A A/E Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining N.C. E B7 E A/E E And fly like eagles out among the stars
[Verse 4]
N.C. E A/E The evening news it carries all the details N.C. E B7 As he dies in every living room in town N.C. E E7 A/E F#m And in a home a bottle is thrown in anger N.C. E B7 E And his father cries "We'll never live this down."
[Chorus]
E D/A A/E Oh how many travelers get weary E B7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars E D/A A/E Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining N.C. E B7 E A/E and fly like eagles out among the stars and
[Outro]
E B7 fly like eagles out among N.C. B Eb E/C# A/E Am E the stars.
