Chords for Johnny Cash - Out Among The Stars (Official Lyric Video)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's midnight at a liquor [F] store in Texas, _
_ [C] Closing time, another [G] day is done, _
[C] When a boy walks in the door and [F] points a pistol, _
He [C] can't find a [G] job, but Lord he's [C] found a gun, _ _
He pulls it off with no trace of [F] confrontation, _
Then [C] he lets the old man run out in [G] the street,
Even [C] though he knows they'll come with guns [F] a-blazin',
[C] Already he [G] can feel a great [C] relief, _ _
Oh how many travelers [A#] get [F] weary,
_ [C] Bearing both their burdens and [G] their scars, _
[C] Don't you think they'd love to start [A#] all [F] over,
[C] And fly like [G] eagles out among [C] the stars, _
He pictured the arrival of [F] the cruisers,
Sees [C] that old familiar anger in [G] their eyes, _
[C] He knows that when they're shooting at [F] this loser,
They'll [C] be aiming at [G] the demons in their [C] lives, _
Oh how many travelers [A#] get [F] weary,
[C] Bearing both their burdens and [G] their scars, _
[C] Don't you think they'd love to start [A#] all [F] over,
[C] And fly like eagles [G] out among [C] the stars, _
_ [C#] _ _ _ The evening news carried all [F#] the details,
_ [C#] He dies in every living room in [G#] town,
_ _ [C#] And in his own a bottle is thrown [F#] in anger,
_ And [C#] his father cries, [G#] we'll never live [C#] this down,
_ _ Oh how many travelers [B] get [F#] weary,
_ [C#] Bearing both their burdens and [G#] their scars,
_ [C#] Don't you think they'd love to start [B] all [F#] over,
[C#] And fly like [G#] eagles out among [C#] the stars,
_ And fly like [G#] eagles out among [F#] the stars,
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
