Traveler Don
INTRO: Em/// G/// D D D C C CM7
VERSE: Em G Sleepy wanderer there’s no hurry D C You have a place where you can rest Em G Weary traveler don’t you worry D C All of us wish you the best
You’ve come a long way from home Seems like such a long time Now you can soak everything in Nothing will pass you by
If you have any doubts Look to the big blue sky And consider all that has passed Under its watchful eye
Bm C Carry on into the sun Bm C And hold the reigns real tight G D It might make all the difference C G F#m If you make it through the night
Em G Keep on riding traveler Don D C Don’t let them slow you down Em G You’ve got a lot to see my friend D C Before they put you in the ground

VERSE: The road goes ever onward And you’ll often travel far And you find you end up again Right back to where you are
But as long as you are there And can see exactly what’s at stake You’ll know life’s a road worth walking For all the music we can make
The load is heavy traveler don And you’ve got so far to go Your soul will travel forever And you’ll never miss the show
Bm C Carry on into the sun And hold the reins real tight It might make all the difference If you make it through the night
Keep on riding traveler don Don’t let them slow you down You’ve got a lot to see my friend Before they put you in the ground
