Travelin Thru Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[INTRO]

[C] [F] [G] [C] (shift from [F] to [G]
to [C] a bit faster)

[VERSE]

Well I can't t[C]ell you where I'm going, I'm not s[F]ure of where I've b[C]een
But I know I must keep travelin' till my road comes to an end
I'm out here on my journey, trying to make the most of it
I'm a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit

[CHORUS]

Like a p[C]oor wayfaring s[G]tranger that they s[F]peak about in [C]song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find what feels like home
Where that is no one can tell me, am I doomed to ever roam
I'm just tra[C]velin', travelin', travelin', I'm just t[F]ravel[G]in' o[C]n

[VERSE]

[C]Questions I have many, a[F]nswers but a f[C]ew
But we're here to learn, the spirit burns, to know the greater truth
We've all been crucified and they nailed Jesus to the tree
And when I'm born again, you're gonna see a change in me

[CHORUS]

God m[C]ade me for a r[G]eason and [F]nothing is in v[C]ain
Redemption comes in many shapes with many kinds of pain
Oh sweet Jesus if you're listening, keep me ever close to you
As I'm stum[C]blin', tumblin', wonderin', as I'm [F]travel[G]in' t[C]hru
I'm just tra[C]velin', travelin', travelin', I'm just t[F]ravel[G]in' t[C]hru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

[VERSE]

Oh someti[C]mes the road is rugged, and it's h[F]ard to travel [C]on
But holdin' to each other, we don't have to walk alone
When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try
We can make a world of difference, if we want to we can fly

[CHORUS]

Goodb[C]ye little c[G]hildren, goodn[F]ight you handsome m[C]en
Farewell to all you ladies and to all who knew me when
And I hope I'll see you down the road, you meant more than I knew
As I was travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin', travelin' thru

[VERSE]

(same chords used)
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin'
Drifting like a floating boat and roaming like the wind
Oh give me some direction lord, let me lean on you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', thru

I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru
I'm just travelin', travelin', travelin', I'm just travelin' thru

Like the poor wayfaring stranger that they speak about in song
I'm just a weary pilgrim trying to find my own way home
Oh sweet Jesus if you're out there, keep me ever close to you
As I'm travelin', travelin', travelin', as I'm travelin' thru
