Traveling Man

G                   Cadd9       G
I'm just a traveling man, you see.
G                              
Wherever this road goes is 
Cadd9    G
where I will be
G                             
And I'll catch me a ride on a 
Cadd9   G
boat to Spain
G                                 
Tell a woman that I love her then 
Cadd9      G
forget her name
G                           Cadd9 
And I wish I could stay for midday 
 G
coffee
G                         Cadd9   
But I just can't get this dreamin' 
 G
off me
G                             
If I could find me a place to 
Cadd9   G
rest my mind
G                               
But mama always said you'll get 
Cadd9    G
there in good time.


[Chorus]
             Cadd9                 
There's some headlights burning 
      G
down the highway
                 D                 
And I think that I may just hitch 
        Em
me a ride
             Cadd9                
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade,
G
 sir
           D                     
We're all runnin' from the things 
       G
inside


[Verse]
G                              
Therе's a train headin west to 
Cadd9    G
south Toledo
G                                  
And if thе dogs don't assail me to 
Cadd9      G
sleep I'll go
G                            
Dreamin' as I'm steamin past 
Cadd9    G
miles of ground
G                                  
Through the souls and hymnals that 
Cadd9      G
built this town
G                       Cadd9     
Won't stay too long and leave too 
G
soon
G                                 
The best time for goin' is when 
  Cadd9       G
the goin' scare you.


[Chorus]
             Cadd9                 
There's some headlights burning 
      G
down the highway
                 D                 
And I think that I may just hitch 
        Em
me a ride
             Cadd9                
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade,
G
 sir
           D                     
We're all runnin' from the things 
       G
inside


(one strum)
             Cadd9                 
There's some headlights burning 
      G
down the highway
                 D                 
And I think that I may just hitch 
        Em
me a ride
             Cadd9                
'Cause I'm a traveling man by trade,
G
 sir
           D                     
We're all runnin' from the things 
       G
inside
