Another Travelin Song by Bright Eyes

bright eyes
standard tuning
im wide awake its morning
tabbed by mark sheary
im not sure when there are question marks but its close.

Intro - Bm

Bm
well I’m changing all my strings
                                    E
I’m gonna write another travellin song
  Bm 
about all the billion highways
                               F# 
and the cities at the break of dawn 
Bm
well I guess the best that I can do now
                                   E
is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong
F# 
and dream about a train that’s gonna
                         Bm 
take me back where I belong 
Bm
now the ocean speaks and spits 
                               E
and I can hear it from the interstate 
  Bm                     
and I’m screaming at my brother
                            F#
on the cell phone, he is far away 
Bm
and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past
                               E
or future ever will feel like today 
F#
until we’re parkin in an alley,
                         Bm
just hopin that our shit is safe
 
        E                 Bm
so I go back and forth forever
        E                    Bm
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
        E                          Bm?
well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised
            Bm
But I never feel quite prepared (woo!)

DEAD STRUMMING -- 

Now I’m hunched over a typewriter
                                    
I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave

And there’s a word I can’t remember
                        
and a feeling I can not escape 

And now my ashtray’s overflowin
                                
I’m still starin at a clean white page



F# 
And morning’s at my window 
                             Bm 
and she is sending me to bed again
Bm 
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
                                    E
I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down
F# 
I dreamed a prostituted child
                                Bm?
touching an old man in a fast food crown
Bm 
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’, 
                                E
there was people screamin’ all around 
F#
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
                                  Bm
it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud


 
           E                     Bm
So I will find my fears and face them
           E                Bm
Or I will cower like a dog 
          E                       Bm?
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
           Bm
I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up
