Out Among the Stars -- Merle Haggard Verse 1: F Bb It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas. F C7 Beneath the neon, close up's just begun. F Gb When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol. F C7 F He can't find a job, but man, he's found a gun. Verse 2: F Bb But a change of heart before there's confrontation. F C7 Let's the old man live and run out in the street. F Bb G But he knows that soon they'll come with guns a blazing. F C7 F And already he can feel a great relief. Chorus: F EbBb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Don't you think they'd love to stop Eb Bb complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars. Verse 3: F Bb He pictures the arrival of the cruisers. F C7 Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes. F Bb G He knows that when they're shooting at this loser, F C7 F They'll be aiming at the deamons in their lives. Chorus: F Bb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Bb G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars. Verse 4: F Bb The evening news it carries all the details. F C7 He dies in every living room in town. F Bb G And in his home a bottle's thrown in anger. F C7 F And his father cries, "We'll never live this down." Chorus: F Bb Oh how many travlers get weary, F C7 Bearing both their burdens and their scars, F Bb G Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, F C7 F and fly like eagles out among the stars. F C7 F Oh-Oh, and fly like eagles out among the stars. (Thanks to Pete for corrections)
