Capo 3
[Intro]
D Bm7
*The intro riff is the same basic riff used throughout the song. Hammer on and off the E string
on the D chord (alternating between D and Dsus2), and hammer on the D string on the Bm7 as soon
as you make the chord, then hammer on and off on the B string (alternating between Bm7 and B7sus2).
Here's the basic idea, as well as the weird way he plays the Em7 in the final line of each verse
Bm7 Em7*
e|-------2------0----------------------|
B|-----2h3------3----------------------|
G|-------2------0----------------------|
D|-----2h4------4----------------------|
A|-------2------2----------------------|
E|--------------0----------------------|
[Verse 1]
D Bm7
I see the sunrise creeping in
D Bm7
Everything changes like the desert wind
Em7* A
Here she comes and then she's gone again
[Chorus]
D Bm7
I'm just a traveller on this earth
D Bm7
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
G Em7
I just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
D Bm7
‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
D Bm7
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
D Bm7
Where I'm going but I've got to go
G Em7
‘Cause every turn reveals some other road
D Bm7
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
[Verse 2]
D Bm7
My heartbeat's rhythm is a lonesome sound
D Bm7
Just like the rubber turning on the ground
Em7* A
Always lost and nowhere bound
[Chorus]
D Bm7
I'm just a traveller on this earth
D Bm7
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
G Em7
I just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
D Bm7
‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
D Bm7
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
D Bm7
Where I'm going but I've got to go
G Em7
‘Cause every turn reveals some other road
D Bm7
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
[Bridge]
G
When I'm gone
Em7 G
Somebody else will have to feel this wrong
Em7 G
Somebody else will have to sing this song
Em7 A
Somebody else will have to sing along, sing along
[Chorus]
D Bm7
I'm just a traveller on this earth
D Bm7
Sure as my heart's behind the pocket of my shirt
G Em7
I just keep rolling till I'm in the dirt
D Bm7
‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
D Bm7
I couldn't tell you honey, I don't know
D Bm7
Where I'm going but I've got to go
G Em7
‘Cause every turn reveals some other road
D Bm7
And I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a traveller
