Bright Eyes - Another Travelin' Song guitar tab

bright eyes

standard tuning

im wide awake its morning

tabbed by mark sheary

im not sure when there are question marks but its close.

Intro - Bm

Bm

well I’m changing all my strings

E

I’m gonna write another travellin song

Bm

about all the billion highways

F#

and the cities at the break of dawn

Bm

well I guess the best that I can do now

E

is pretend that I’ve done nothing wrong

F#

and dream about a train that’s gonna

Bm

take me back where I belong

Bm

now the ocean speaks and spits

E

and I can hear it from the interstate

Bm

and I’m screaming at my brother

F#

on the cell phone, he is far away

Bm

and I’m sayin’ nothing in the past

E

or future ever will feel like today

F#

until we’re parkin in an alley,

Bm

just hopin that our shit is safe

E Bm

so I go back and forth forever

E Bm

all my thoughts, they come in pairs

E Bm?

well I will I won’t I doubt I don’t I’m not surprised

Bm

But I never feel quite prepared (woo!)

-Bm-

DEAD STRUMMING --

Now I’m hunched over a typewriter

I guess you’d call that paintin’ in a cave

And there’s a word I can’t remember

and a feeling I can not escape

And now my ashtray’s overflowin

I’m still starin at a clean white page

F#

And morning’s at my window

Bm

and she is sending me to bed again

Bm

Well I dreamed the dark on the horizon,

E

I dreamed a desert where the dead layed down

F#

I dreamed a prostituted child

Bm?

touching an old man in a fast food crown

Bm

Oh Yeah I dreamt a ship was sinkin’,

E

there was people screamin’ all around

F#

And I awoke to my alarm clock,

Bm

it was a pop song, it was playin’ loud

E Bm

So I will find my fears and face them

E Bm

Or I will cower like a dog

E Bm?

I will kick and scream or kneel and plead

Bm

I will fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up

-Bm-
