_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
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 [B] job, 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 [A] guns
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 scar _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Don't you think they'd love to [D] stop _ 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 [A] at this loser _ [F#] _ _ _
[E] They'll be aiming at [B] the demons [E] in their lives _ _ _
_ _ Oh, how many _ travelers [D] get _ _ [A] weary _
_ _ [E] Bearing both their burdens and [B] their scar _ _ _
_ [E] _ Don't you think they'd love to [C#m] stop [D] complaining _ _ [A] _ _
And [E] fly [B] like eagles out among the [E] _ stars
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ evening news, it carries [A] all the details _ He _
_ [E] dies in every living _ [B] room in town _ _ _
And in [E] his own, _ a bottle's thrown [A] in anger _ [F#] And [C#] _
[E] his father cries, [B] we'll never live [E] 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 [D] start all over [A] _ _ _
And [E] fly [B] like eagles out among [E] the stars _ _ _ _ _
Fly like [B] eagles out among [A] the stars _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
