CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F G C Cadd9 C G F G C Cadd9 C G
[Verse 1]
Dm G Dm G
Playing dominos on the big coach, sometimes winning or losing
Dm G Dm G
Playing darts in the barroom, in between the boozing
C G Dm G
And later on the stage, playing music from a dream
F G C Cadd9 C G
It's one for travel---ling man
C C Cadd9 C G
Two for what he's seen
[Verse 2]
Dm G Dm G
Later at the reception, pressmen and their wives
Dm G Dm G
Yes-men with their suggestions, well-wishers with their lies
C G Dm G
Me I'm getting drunker, by the minute let it roll
F G C Cadd9 C G
It's three for the compa----ny man
C C Cadd9 C G
Four for his soul
[Verse 3]
Dm G Dm G
Later on in the hotel room, playing cards until the dawn
Dm G Dm G
Others just conversating, I suppose they were having fun
C G Dm G
And crashing to their bedrooms, legless one by one
F G C Cadd9 C G
It's five for the cold morn--ing light
C Cadd9 C G
Sixteen for the sun
[Verse 4]
Dm G Dm G
Back on the big coach in the morning, head full of pain
Dm G Dm G
Sleepy-eyed, still yawning, yes, we're back on the road again
C G Dm G
Sometimes makes me wonder, what we'll be like at the end
F G C Cadd9 C G
It's seven for the travel---ling band
C
Eight for doing it all again
F G C Cadd9 C G
Nine for the travel---ling band
C
Ten for doing it all again
[Outro] (## fade to end ##)
