Fair Haired Traveller

 
              
 
Intro:  F  Dm  C  F 
 
Verse: 
F                     Am 
On a train ride from some place bad 
Bb                      C     Am 
  To some place little better  
F                Am 
  In between my youth and manhood 
Bb                 C      Am 
  Was the place I met her  
F                        Am 
  She was just a skinny brown eyed girl  
Bb                     C       C7 
  With a hunger for tomorrow  
F                Am 
  And I was then obese by pain.  
Bb                        C      Am  C7  C 
  I had all that I could swallow.  
 
 
 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
Bb          Dm       F 
  Keep on travelling on 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
               Dm            C       Bb     F 
It's just the seat that you have is wrong  
 
 
Verse: 
 F                     Am 
Her eyes were packing passed regrets.  
Bb                         C       Am 
  In her lips there was redemption  
F                     Am 
  And she mistook my coat for love.  
Bb                      C      Am   
  As she wore it for affection  
F                      Am 
  And as she took the seat beside me.  
Bb                      C        Am 
  I inhaled all of her laughter  
F                      Am 
  And she forgot there is a past.  
Bb                          C     Am  C7  C 
  And I forgot there is an after. 
 
 
 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
Bb          Dm       F 
  Keep on travelling on 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
               Dm            C       Bb 
It's just the seat that you have is wrong  
      F    Dm  C  F 
In a song 
 
 
Verse: 
F                     Am 
On a train ride from some place gone.  
Bb                      C      Am 
  To some place almost certain  
F                Am 
  In between my flesh and bone.  
Bb                 C      C7 
  Was the place I met her  
F                       Am 
  And wrapped up in my coat of shame.  
Bb                         C       Am 
  She laid there sleeping tightly  
F                              Am 
  And as the train pulled to another stop.  
Bb                            C      Am  C7  C 
  I knew that she'd go on without me.  
 
 
Chorus: 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
Bb          Dm       F 
  Keep on travelling on 
Bb                  F 
  Oh, fair haired travelling girl 
               Dm            C       Bb    F 
It's just the seat that you have is wrong
