Another Travellin Song
Bright Eyes
Text File
This is my first tab. It's not in the same key as the song but.... oh well.
Intro - G
G
well I�m changing all my strings
C
I�m gonna write another travellin song
G
about all the billion highways
D
and the cities at the break of dawn
G
well I guess the best that I can do now
C
is pretend that I�ve done nothing wrong
D
and dream about a train that�s gonna
C G
take me back where I belong
G
now the ocean speaks and spits
C
and I can hear it from the interstate
G
and I�m screaming at my brother
C D
on the cell phone, he is far away
G
and I�m sayin� nothing in the past
C
or future ever will feel like today
D
until we�re parkin in an alley,
C G
just hopin that our shit is safe
C G
so I go back and forth forever
C G
all my thoughts, they come in pairs
C G D
well I will I won�t I doubt I don�t I�m not surprised
C D G
But I never feel quite prepared (woo!)
-G-
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
D
And morning�s at my window
C G
and she is sending me to bed again
G
Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,
C
I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down
G
I dreamed a prostituted child
D
touching an old man in a fast food crown
G
Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin�,
C
there was people screamin� all around
D
And I awoke to my alarm clock,
C G
it was a pop song, it was playin� loud
C G
So I will find my fears and face them
C G
Or I will cower like a dog
C G
I will kick and scream or kneel and plead
C D G
I will fight like hell to hide that I�m giving up
Outro-G
