Tuning: E A D G B E
She plays this song in Open D [DADGAD]
I'm not sure what chords these are because of the open tuning, but it's making me name them so I've done my
best but don't try playing the named chords - play what I've tabbed out.
First chord C: 0[12]0000 (12th fret)
Second chord F: 050000
Third chord D: 000000
Fourth chord G: 020000 [on this chord she actually makes a little riff when she hammers 00h2000 then 0h20000
but you can get away without doing that if you want]. This fourth chord riff makes up half a bar, then you
land back on the open D.
CThis morning, if it all was Fgone
Funny Dthing, it wouldn’t Gphase me Dnone
CMight feel like I just got Fhome
See, I always had a Dtaste for Gtraveling Dalone
I only get this one time round
Better speak up straight, better speak up proud
Good Lord, if he’s not at home
Well, I always had a taste for traveling alone
Oh If I had a son
I would make him laugh, I would teach him something
I’d say, Son, you gotta hold your own
And it’s good to have a taste for traveling alone
Oh, if I had a love
I would say, "Man, got to keep up!"
Got to lay down, baby, feed my soul
’cause you know I got a taste for traveling alone
Oh, if I had a song
I would sing it now, wouldn’t take too long
I’d sing, "Goodness is a real bare bone
And it’s what you do when you’re traveling alone."
Down south, baby, in the heat
I was raised up right, I was raised so sweet
Sweetness ain’t gonna get you home
You’re bound to get a taste of traveling alone
I know that the world is mean
I know it don’t care, I been around, I seen it
It’s like a pretty girl who don’t even know
I guess everybody here is traveling alone
Cigarettes and a pick up truck
I’m gonna leave this town now, I got to press my luck
Ocean gonna break so slow
You know, I always had a taste for traveling alone
