Travelin' Band Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Bm]y wer[A]e[G]
[D]searchin'
for stars when we came along
[Bm]It was rock 'n roll in
a country song
[A]There were five of us
thinking that we can
This is the [G]life and times of a traveling band
[D]Hollywood had a funny face
So we [Bm]took our chances and we got away
[A]Back to Nashville,
[G]Tennessee
Hobie, Bobby, Jim and Joe and me

[Verse 2]
No [D]the [Em]west coast [A]life
Didn't [D]fit just [G]right

[Verse 3]
[D]You could see us on the television
[Bm]It ain't easy bein' all that grand
So [A]we put on our blue
jeans and our t- [G]shirts
And [D]made off with our gui[A]tars in [G]the van
And [D]took our place
[A]Out on the stage
In a [D]travelin' band

[Verse 4]
[D]We heard our song on the radio
Along [Bm]with the "Gambler" we hit the road
[A]All across the USA
[G]We were gypsies on parade
We were [D]all about three
chords and the truth
We [Bm]wrote our songs on the bus,
in the booth
[A]Some go fast like "Some Girls Do"
[G]Some go slow like "Used to Blue"
When the [Em]lights went down

[Verse 5]
[A]
We could [D]hear the [G]crowd

[Verse 6]
We [D]headlined our first show
in Salt Lake City
[Bm]We still make a stop there
now and then
[A]They've got [Asus4]all
[A]our faces on their t- [G]shirts
You [D]should have seen [A]our hair
dos way back [G]when
We [D]took our place
[A]On the stage
In a travelin' [D]band

[Verse 7]
[D]Fame and fortune don't mean much
Without [Bm]someone to hold
and someone to touch
[A]Some wives left, some stayed on
So [G]who do you love when the beat
goes on
[D]Now we're 27 years
and a million miles
[Bm]Shifting gears and changing styles
We [A]said goodbye to old DC
Now [G]it's Hobie, Shayne

[Verse 8]
and Jim, the Joes and me
[G]
And when [Em]"The Race is [A]On"
They [D]all sing [G]along
[D]Now I'd like to take this
time to thank you
[Bm]Though it's been a long
and winding road
I coun[A]t my blessings when
I see [G]those faces
And [D]I look down at this
[A]guitar in my [G]hand
And I take [D]my place
[A]On the stage
In a [G]travelin' band
[D]I'm in a travelin' band
