Out Among The Stars Chords

(ver. 1)
Johnny Cash
     G                       C
It's Midnight at a liquor store in Texas
G                                D7
Closing time another day is done
       G                                  C     A7
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
         G              D7                G
He can't find a job but Lord he's found a gun

                                        C
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
        G                               D7
That he lets the old man run out in the street
     G                                        C      A7
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a blazing
  G            D7                G
already he can feel that great relief


                          F    C
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
G                                    D7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
G                                    C
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
    G               D7            G
And fly like eagles out among the stars

                               C
He pictures the arrival of the cruisers
          G                           D7
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
   G                                        C    A7
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
           G             D7              G
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives

Repeat #3

                                C
Evening news it carries all the details
   G                            D7
He dies in every living room in town
   G                            C        A7
And in his own a bottle's thrown in anger
        G                  D7              G
And his father cries we'll never live this down

                          F    C
Oh how many travelers get wear-y
G                                    D7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
G                                    C
Don't you think they'd love to start all over
    G               D7            G
And fly like eagles out among the stars
 
                    D7            G
And fly like eagles out among the stars
