Out Among The Stars Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

It's [E]Midnight at a liquor sto[A]re in Texas
[E]Closing time another day is done [B7]
When a [E]boy walks in the door and points a [A]pistol
He can't [E]find a job but [B7]Lord he's found a [E]gun

He pulls it off with no trace of confron[A]tation
That he [E]lets the old man run out in the [B7]street
Even [E]though he knows they'll come with guns a [A]blazing
al[E]ready he can [B7]feel that great re[E]lief

Oh how many travelers get [D]wear-[A]y
[E]Bearing both their burdens and their [B7]scars
[E]Don't you think they'd love to start [A]all over
And [E]fly like eagles [B7]out among the [E]stars

He pictures the arrival of the [A]cruisers
Sees that [E]old familiar anger in their [B7]eyes
He [E]knows that when they're shooting at this [A]loser
They'll be [E]aiming at the [B7]demons in their [E]lives

Repeat #3

Evening news it carries all the [A]details
He [E]dies in every living room in [B7]town
And[E] in his own a bottle's thrown[A] in anger
And his [E]father cries we'll [B7]never live this [E]down

Oh how many travelers get [D]wear-[A]y
[E]Bearing both their burdens and their [B7]scars
[E]Don't you think they'd love to start [A]all over
And [E]fly like eagles [B7]out among the [E]stars

And fly like eagles [B7]out among the [E]stars
