Out Among the Stars
 G 
Verse 1: 
 G                                  C                                                       
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas. 
 G                                 D7                                                       
Beneath the neon, close up's just begun.  
 G                                       C  A    
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol. 
 G                     D7                   G                                  
He can't find a job, but man, he's found a gun. 
 
Verse 2: 
 G                                     C                                                       
But a change of heart before there's confrontation. 
 G                                         D7                                                       
Let's the old man live and run out in the street. 
 G                                              C   A                                                       
But he knows that soon they'll come with guns  blazing. 
 G                 D7               G  
And already he can feel a great relief. 
                                                
 G                        C                                                       
Oh how many travlers get weary, 
 G                                      D7                                 
Bearing both their burdens and their scars, 
 G                                    C    A                                                      
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, 
 G                   D              G 
and fly like eagles out among the stars. 
 
Verse 3:  
 G                                C                                         
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers. 
 G                                      D7                                                       
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes. 
 G                                           C  A                                                          
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser, 
 G                        D7                G                                                       
They'll be aiming at the deamons in their lives. 
                                               
 G                        C                                                       
Oh how many travlers get weary, 
 G                                    D7                                 
Bearing both their burdens and their scars, 
 G                                   C        A                                         
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, 
 G                   D7              G                                                  
and fly like eagles out among the stars. 
 
Verse 4: 
 G                                    C                                                       
The evening news it carries all the details. 
 G                               D7                                                       
He dies in every living room in town. 
 G                                     C  A                                                       
And in his home a bottle's thrown in anger. 
 G                       D7                    G                                                       
And his father cries, "We'll never live this down." 
                                               
 G                        C                                                       
Oh how many travlers get weary, 
 G                                     D7                                 
Bearing both their burdens and their scars, 
 G                                    C      A                                                      
Don't you think they'd love to stop complaining, 
 G                    D7             G                                                  
and fly like eagles out among the stars. 
 
 
 G                    D7                    G                                                       
Oh-Oh, and fly like eagles out among the stars.
