Intro.: [C] x 4 bars
{c: }
It's [C] midnight at a liquor store in [F] Texas
[C] Closing time another day is [G] done
When a [C] boy walked in the door and points a [F] pistol
He can't [C] find a job, but [G] Lord, he's found a [C] gun
{c: }
He [C] pulls it off with no trace of confron[F] tation
That he [C] lets the old man run out in the [G] street
Even [C] though he knows they'll come with guns a [F] blazing
Al[C]ready he can [G] feel that great re[C]lief
{c: }
[C] Oh, how many travelers get [Bb] wea[F] ry
[C] Bearing both their burdens and their [G] scars
[C] Don't you think they'd love to start all [Bb] o[F]ver
And [C] fly like eagles [G] out among the [C] stars?
{c: }
He [C] pictures the arrival of the [F] cruisers
Sees that [C] old familiar anger in their [G] eyes
He [C] knows that when they're shooting at this [F] loser
They'll be [C] aiming at the [G] demons in their [C] lives
{c: }
[C] Oh, how many travelers get [Bb] wea[F] ry
[C] Bearing both their burdens and their [G] scars
[C] Don't you think they'd love to start all [Bb] o[F]ver
And [C] fly like eagles [G] out among the [C] stars?
{c: }
(Spoken) The [C#] evening news carried all the [F#] details
He [C#] dies in every living room in [G#] town
And [C#] in his own a bottle's thrown in [F#] anger
And his [C#] father cries, [G#] he'll never live this [C#] down
{c: }
(singing again) [C#] Oh, how many travelers get [B] wea[F#] ry
[C#] Bearing both their burdens and their [G#] scars
[C#] Don't you think they'd love to start all [B] o[F#]ver
And [C#] fly like eagles [G#] out among the [C#] stars?
And [C#] fly like eagles [G#] out among the [F#] stars? [F#] [C#] [C#]
