Capo 3
*The intro riff is the same basic riff used throughout the song. Hammer on and off the E string
on the D chord (alternating between D and Dsus2), and hammer on the D string on the Bm7 as soon
as you make the chord, then hammer on and off on the B string (alternating between Bm7 and B7sus2).
Here's the basic idea, as well as the weird way he plays the Em7 in the final line of each verse

[Verse 1]
DI see the sunrise Bm7creeping in
DEverything changes like the Bm7desert wind
Em7* A  
Here she comes and then she's gone again
[Chorus]
DI'm just a traveller Bm7on this earth
DSure as my heart's behind the Bm7pocket of my shirt
GI just keep rolling till I'm in tEm7he dirt
D‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a Bm7traveller
DI couldn't tell you honey, Bm7I don't know
DWhere I'm going but I've Bm7got to go
G‘Cause every turn reveals some Em7other road
And I'm a Dtraveller, oh, I'm a Bm7traveller
[Verse 2]
DMy heartbeat's rhyBm7thm is a lonesome sound
DJust like the rubber turning Bm7on the ground
Em7* A  
Always lost and nowhere bound
[Chorus]
DI'm just a traveller Bm7on this earth
DSure as my heart's behind the Bm7pocket of my shirt
GI just keep rolling till I'm in tEm7he dirt
D‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a Bm7traveller
DI couldn't tell you honey, Bm7I don't know
DWhere I'm going but I've Bm7got to go
G‘Cause every turn reveals some Em7other road
And I'm a Dtraveller, oh, I'm a Bm7traveller
[Bridge]
GWhen I'm gone
Em7Somebody else will have to Gfeel this wrong
Em7Somebody else will have to Gsing this song
Em7Somebody else will have to sAing along, sing along
[Chorus]
DI'm just a traveller Bm7on this earth
DSure as my heart's behind the Bm7pocket of my shirt
GI just keep rolling till I'm in tEm7he dirt
D‘Cause I'm a traveller, oh, I'm a Bm7traveller
DI couldn't tell you honey, Bm7I don't know
