Chords for My Traveling Star (Live At The Colonial Theatre / 2007)

This next song has a bit of a gimmick as well.
It's a traveling song.
After a while, you get a lot of those. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] Watch my back [Bbm] and light my _ _ [Ebm] way.
My [Gb] _ traveling star, [Db] my traveling star.
Watch over all of those born, [Bbm] sing Christopher's day.
[Ebm] _ _ [Eb] Oh, don't, don't run away.
[Bb] They hunger for home, [Ab] but they never stay.
_ [Gb] _ They wait [B] by the door, they [Bb] stand and they stare. _
They're [Eb] already out of there.
[Db] _ _ _
They're already out of there.
My daddy [Bbm] used to ride the _ [Eb] rails, they say.
So they say, [Ab] so they [Db] say.
Soft as smoke [Bbm] and tough as [Eb] nails, my daddy.
_ Rockstar Jones, the [Gbm] [Bb] walking man.
Coming [A] back home [Abm] was like going to [Gb] jail.
_ The sheets and [B] the blankets [Bb] and navies and _ all.
He never [Eb] did come back _ home.
_ Never that [C] I recall.
[Bbm] _
Never [Bb] mind the wind, never mind [Gb] the rain.
[Ab] Never mind the [Db] road [F] leading home [Bbm] again.
[A] Never asking [Abm] why, [Db] never knowing [Gb] when.
[Eb] Every now and then, [Ab] there he goes [Db] again. _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Db] She had a cat and [Bbm] a dog named _ [Ebm] Blue.
_ [Eb] My traveling star, my traveling star.
Big old [Ab] stove [Bbm] and a fireplace [Ab] too.
[Eb] _ _ Old road dog, [Db] young [Bb] runaway.
She told me she loved me like it was true. _
I knew I should [A] say, I [Bb] knew I would go.
_ Run, [Eb] run, run [Db] away.
_ _ _ Run, run, [A] run away [Bbm] boy.
[F] Run before [Bbm] the wind, [F] run before [Gb] the rain.
[Ab] Over yonder [Db]
hill, just [Bbm] around the bend.
[A] Never asking [Abm] why, [Db] never knowing when. _
[Eb] Every now and then, there you [Db] go again.
Tie me [Bbm] up and hold me _ _ [Ebm] down.
Oh, [Eb] _ _ my _ [Db] traveling star.
Bury my feet [Bbm] down in the ground.
_ [Eb] _ _ Oh, _ [Ab] _
old road [Bbm] dog.
Claim my [A] name from [Abm] the lost [Db] file.
_ _ _ And let me [A] believe this is where [Bb] I belong. _
_ And shame [Eb] on me [Db] for sure.
_ Sing me one [Ab] more highway [Db] song.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ebm] My traveling [Ab] star, my traveling [Db] star.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
