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