C#       Bbm     G#       F#       C#
We don't all die young to save our spark
         Bbm G#     F#        
From the ravages of time
        Bbm        G#     F#          C#
But the first and last to leave their mark
    F#  C# Bbm     G#        C#    
Someday become the traveling kind


C#       Bbm     G#       F#       C#
In the wind are names of poets past
         Bbm G#     F#    
Some were friends of yours and mine
        Bbm        G#     F#          C#
And to those unsung, we lift our glass
    F#  C# Bbm     G#        C#   
May their songs become the traveling kind


C#       Bbm     G#       F#       C#
We were born to brave this tilted world 
         Bbm G#     F#    
With our hearts laid on the line
        Bbm        G#     F#          C#
Be it way-crossed boy or red dirt girl
    F#  C# Bbm     G#        C#   
The song becomes the traveling kind
