The Traveller

[Verse]
On the first day of the journey the 
F
traveller was prepared
    C                         G
And words of consolation were never 
heard
He didn't know where he was going, 
       F
just a poem in his mind
    C                           
And all the things he valued, he 
 G
left behind

[Chorus]
Am              F
Running for the money
C               G
Running for the fame
Am                F
Lost where he was going
       G             F    C    G
And forgot his name

[Verse]
The promised land was waiting, his 
F
vision led him on
         C                         
But only promises were waiting, for
     G
 the rest had gone
So he asked a band of travellers, 
    F
who turned the other way
    C                             
And left him in the wilderness to 
G
face the day

[Chorus]
Am              F
Running for the money
C               G
Running for the fame
Am                F
Lost where he was going
       G             F    C    G
And forgot his name

[Verse]
He wandered through the desert, 
          F
where the land lay in waste
       C                           
He was guided by the blinding sun, 
      G
which burned his face
So he turned to the mountains, where
             F
 the air was fresh and clear
        C                          
And the cold wind chilled his body,
         G
 and his death was near

[Chorus]
Am              F
Running for the money
C               G
Running for the fame
Am                F
Lost where he was going
       G             F    C    G
And forgot his name

[Verse]
So the traveller came home again, an
 F
 old and feeble man
          C                        
There was no one there to greet 
       G
him, everyone had gone
                             F
No one left to listen and no one 
left to hear
    C                              
And everything had turned to dust, 
        G
and the earth was bare

[Chorus]
Am              F
Running for the money
C               G
Running for the fame
Am                F
Lost where he was going
       G             F    C    G
And forgot his name

[Chorus]
Am              F
Running for the money
C               G
Running for the fame
Am                F
Lost where he was going
       G             F    C    G
And forgot his name
