Travelin' Kind

Country Gentleman

Em                                                          Am                   Em

Oh Lord, I am a traveling man, and my Daddy, so was he

                Em                                                      Am                             Em

And everyday, when the sun goes down, oh my Lord, I just gotta be free

                                C                             G                          C                                    B7

Listen to the sound of the falling rain; Listen to the wail of the south-bound train

                          Em                                                             Am                    Em

That’s a lonely sound; That’s a lonely sight; I’m a lonely man in a lonely time

 

                  Em                                     Am          Em

A rich man has no use for me; nor have I any for he

                     Em                                                         Am                              Em

He’ll judge a man by the clothes he wears; judge I a man by the burden he bears

                                C                               G                          C                                B7

Ha Ha Rich Man! The laugh’s on you; You live and die by another man’s rules

                       Em                                                   Am                 Em

And when we both are dead and gone; The legend of my kind’ll live on

 

                            Em                                                             Am                               Em

Go play with your houses of white and wood; and live your life like you think you should

                       Em                                       Am                             Em

I’ll ride these rails until I die; and if I get lonesome, I just have to ride

                                C                             G                          C                                    B7

Listen to the sound of the falling rain; Listen to the wail of the south-bound train

                          Em                                                             Am                    Em

That’s a lonely sound; That’s a lonely sight; I’m a lonely man in a lonely time
