Capo on the 1st fret.

[D] It's midnight at a liquor store in [G] Texas
[D] Closing time another day is [A] done
When a [D] boy walks in the door and points a [G] pistol [E]
He can't [D] find a job, [A] Lord he's found a [D] gun
        
[D] He pulls it off with no trace of confron [G] tation
Then he [D] lets the old man run out in the [A] street
Even [D] though he knows they'll come with guns a [G] blazing [E]
And al [D] ready he can [A] feel that great [D] relief

[D] Oh how many travelers get [C] wear [G] y
[D] Bearing both their burdens and their [A] scars
[D] Don't you think they'd love to stop comp [C] lain [G] ing
[D] Fly like eagles [A] out among the [D] stars

[D] He pictures the arrival of the [G] cruisers
Sees that [D] old familiar anger in their [A] eyes
He [D] knows that when they're shooting at this [G] loser [E]
They'll be [D] aiming at the [A] demons in their [D] lives

[D] Oh how many travelers get [C] wear [G] y
[D] Bearing both their burdens and their [A] scars
[D] Don't you think they'd love to stop comp [C] lain [G] ing
[D] Fly like eagles [A] out among the [D] stars

[D] The evening news it carries all the [G] details
He [D] dies in every living room in [A] town
At his [D] home a bottle's thrown in [G] anger [E]
And his [D] father cries [A] we'll never live this [D] down

[D] Oh how many travelers get [C] wea [G] ry
[D] Bearing both their burdens and their [A] scars
[D] Don't you think they'd love to start all [C] o [G] ver
And [D] fly like eagles [A] out among the [D] stars
Fly like eagles [A] out among the [G] stars
