Tift Merritt - Traveling Alone
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    C   F     C   F  C  
This morning, if it Fall was Cgone
Funny thing, it wouldn't phase me none
Might feel like I Fjust got Chome
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
Only get this Fone time 'Cround
Better speak up straight, better speak up proud
Good lord, if he's Fnot at Chome
Well, I always had a taste for traveling aloneF  
COh, if I Fhad a Cson
I would make him laugh, I would teach him something
I'd say, Son, you gotta Fhold your Cown
And it's good to have a taste for traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL:     C    F     C    F     C  
Oh, if I Fhad a Clove
I would say, Man, got to keep up
Got to lay down, baby, Ffeed my Csoul
'Cause you know I got a taste for traveling alone
Oh, if I Fhad a Csong
I would sing it now, wouldn't take too long
I'd sing, "Goodness is a Freal bare Cbone"
And it's what you do when you're traveling alone
Down south, baby, Fin the Cheat
I was raised up right, I was raised so sweet
Sweetness ain't gonna Fget you Chome
Oh, you're bound to get a taste of traveling alone
INSTRUMENTAL:     C    F     C    F     C    F     C    F     C  
I know that the Fworld is Cmean
I know it don't care, I been around, I seen
It's like a pretty girl who don't Feven Cknow
I guess everybody here is traveling alone
Cigarettes and a Fpick up Ctruck
I'm gonna leave this town now, I got to press my luck
Ocean gonna Fbreak so Cslow
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
OUTRO:     C    F     C    F     C    F     C    F  C
