I found another tab on this site but i prefer playing the song like this:
standart tuning
no capo
chords: G 320000
Am (x02210@1) D (xx0232@1) Cadd9x32030 (x32030@1)
Intro: G Am D Cadd9 2x
the chords are playing the whole song like this:
G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) D (xx0232@1) Cadd9When (x32030@1)I was an astronaut I didn't take my boots,
When I was a coal miner I didn't know the news,
When I was a record store I didn't have the blues,
I travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't care where else he goes,
He's not gonna take any extra clothes
or extra shoes to hide his feet
The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet
When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock,
Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock,
Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock.
I travel light and that's the life for me.
He doesn't take his spoon or fork,
He's seen too many eating in New York,
He'll use his hands to pick and eat,
The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet
When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips
When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips
When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips,
I travel light and that's the life for me
She lives a life like abandoned wind
Elemental wife, fortune is her friend,
I smile on a planet and a river made of light,
she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight
When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans
And save the cash for Levi’s by selling black-market baked beans
Denim's what I like to wear it has durable seams
I travel light and that's the life for me
She just a genius without a thinking cap
She never pays the rent, she's funny like that
I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone
Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat
Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss
We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus
We'll count the all stars and go to sleep under the bus
We'll travel light and that's the life for us
We'll travel light and that's the life for us
We'll travel light and that's the life for us

not quite sure. But i think he plays it something like this:he picks the bass note of the chords with his thumb and then strums the other notes. you can see this kind of strumming pretty good here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYLzTB4VTx8not the same musician and not the same song, but the same kind of strumming i prefer for this song. (starts at 0:30)I hope i could help you :D just write if there's anything you may need help with =)
