_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
On the first day of the [C] journey, _ _
[F] the traveler was prepared.
_ [G] _
_ _ Words of _ _ consolation were never heard.
[Am] _ _ _
He [G] didn't know where he was [C] going, _ just a [Dm] poem [F] in his mind, _ _
_ [C] _ And all the things he valued he [G] left behind.
[D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] Running for the [F] money, _ [C] running for [G] the fame,
_ [Am] _ Lost where he was [F] going [G] and forgot his _ name. _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ The promised land was waiting, _ his [F] vision led him on, _ _
[G] But [C] only promises were waiting, _ for the [G] rest gone.
[Am] So _ [G] he asked a band of [C] travelers _ [Dm] who turned the [F] other way,
[C] _
_ _ And left him in the wilderness to [G] face the day. _ _ _
_ [Am] Running for the [F] money, _
_ [C] running for [G] the fame,
_ [Am] _ Lost where he was [F] going [G] and forgot his _ _ _ [C] name.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He wandered through the desert, [C] where the [F] land lay in waste.
[G] _
He [C] was guided by a blinding sun which [G] burned his face.
[F] _ _ [D]
So [G] he turned to the [C] mountains, _ [F] where the air was fresh and clear,
[C]
And the cold wind chilled his body, and [G] his death was near. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Running for the [F] money, _
_ [C] running for [G] the fame, _
_ [Am] Lost where he was [F] going and [G] forgot his _ _ name.
[C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
So the traveler _ _ came home [C] again, [F] an old and feeble man.
There [C] was no one there to greet him, everyone [G] had gone. _ _ _
_ No one left to [C] listen, _ [F] no one left to hear. _
_ [C] _ And everything had turned to dust [G] and the earth was bare. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Running for the [F] money, _
_ [C] running for [G] the fame,
_ [Am] _ Lost where he was [F] going [G] and forgot his _ _ _ [C] name.
