Intro :[C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7] / [C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7] -[C]

when tra[C]veling abroad[Am7] in the continen[Dm7]tal style [G7]
[C] [Dm7] [G7] [C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7]
it's my belief one must attempt to be discreet
and subs[C]equently bear in [Am7]mind your transient pos[Dm7]ition [G7]
allow[C]s you a perspectiv[Dm7]e that's unique [G7] [Am7]

and though you'll find [Dm7]your itinerar[G7]y's a blessing[C] and a curse [Am7]
your wan[Dm7]derlust won't let yo[G7]u settle down [C] [Am7]
and you'll wonde[Dm7]r how you ever fath[G7]omed that you'd be conten[C]t [Am7]
to stay withi[Dm7]n the city limits of a small m[G7]idwestern town

most vagabonds[C] i knowed[Am7] don't ever want to fi[Dm7]nd the culprit [G7]
that remain[C]s the object of their [Am7]long relentless q[Dm7]uest [G7]
the obses[Am7]sion's in the chas[Am7]ing and not th[Dm7]e apprehending [G7]
[C] [Dm7] [G7] [C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7]
the pursuit you see and never the arrest

without fea[E7]r of contradiction "bon voyage&q[Am7]uot; is always holle[D7]red
in conjun[Dm7]ction with a handk[G7]erchief from shore [C] [Am7]
[E7]by a girl that drives a rambler and furthermor[Am7]e
is [D7]overly concern[Dm7]ed that she won't see him anymore [G7]

planes and trains and boat[C]s and buses [Am7]
[Dm7] [G7] [C] [Am7] [Dm7] [G7] -[E7]
characteristically evoke a common attitude of blue
unl[Am7]ess you have a suitca[Am7]se and a ticket a[Dm7]nd a passport [G7]
[C] [Dm7] [G7] [C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7]
and the cargo that they're carrying is you

a foreign affai[C]r [Am7]juxtapo[Dm7]sed with a states[G7]ide
and domest[C]ically approved romantic fancy [Dm7] [G7]
is myst[Am7]eriously at[Am7]tractive due to ci[Dm7]rcumstances knowing[G7]
[C] [Am7] [Dm7] -[G7] -[C]
it will only be parlayed into a memory

[C] -[Am7] -[Dm7] -[G7] -[C]
