People are writing songs for you
G
They don't quite know-- what to do
           C
'Bout your mother, your stepdad too
C
Your brother and your sister who
D
Held you in her arms that night
D
When you left after doing everything so right

[Chorus]
                C
'Cause you're a traveller
               G
Yes, you're a traveller

[Verse 2]
G
Tighty righty, lefty loosey
G
You turned the screws and made the news
     C
But you are not forsaken only
C
Quoted as saying
D
Fuck the cancer take no prisoners
D
Don't leave your heart and your mind behind

[Chorus] (x2)
                C
'Cause you're a traveller
               G
Yes, you're a traveller

And the wheels, they keep turning round
G
Everybody's rushing to town
     C
But you don't have to go so fast
C
You've won the race and you were furthest from last
        D
'Cause you were the first to get there mate
D
But I doubt you're resting at the Pearly Gates

[Chorus] (x3)
                 C
'Cause you're a traveller
