G6: 3x2033 (It's G6omit3, same as above)
G5: 3x0033
[Intro]
G Gmaj7 G6 G5 x2
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Sometimes I feel like a man in a cannon
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
About to go hurtling through
G Gmaj7
Space, we blast fast
G6 G5 Cadd9
Soon as the match hits the fuse
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Sometimes it seems like I'm makin' it up
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Crazy and crazier days
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
When fiction ain't stranger than the truth
Cadd9
Turn the page
G
Turn the page
[Chorus]
Em C G
Roll around the world and around again
D/F#
Someplace we never been
Em C
Blow a kiss and
G
Fly with the sun
D/F#
See how lightnin' fast we can run
Em
With a little luck
C D
We might just catch a tailwind
D G Gmaj7 G6
Hey, fellow traveler
G5 G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Keep travelin'
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Somedays I swear that the game must be rigged
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Jokers up every last sleeve
G Gmaj7
And if crooked is straight
G6 G5 Cadd9
Then what the hell does that make me
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Sometimes it feels like I'm jugglin' fire
G Gmaj7 G6 G5
Tryin' hard not to get burned
G Gmaj7 G6 G5 Cadd9
Eyes on the flame, workin' and waiting my turn
G
Waiting my turn
[Chorus]
Em C G
Roll around the world and around again
D/F#
Someplace we never been
Em C
Blow a kiss and
G
Fly with the sun
D/F#
See how lightnin' fast we can run
Em
With a little luck
C D
We might just catch a tailwind
D
Hey, fellow traveler
D
Keep travelin'
[Solo]
Em A x3
C D
[Chorus]
Em C G
Roll around the world and around again
D/F#
Someplace we never been
Em C
Blow a kiss and
G
Fly with the sun
D/F#
See how lightnin' fast we can run
Em
With a little luck
C D
We might just catch a tailwind
D G Gmaj7 G6
Hey, fellow travelers
G5 G Gmaj7
Keep travelin'
[Outro]
G6 G5 G Gmaj7
We might just catch a tailwind
G6 G5 G Gmaj7
So keep travelin'
G6 G5 C
Keep travelin'

version 2
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
Catch the F# of the D chord with your thumb.
On the G-omit chords, use your pinky and index finger to walk down through them. Keep ring finger anchored
on b string 3rd fret.
Use middle and index fingers to walk quickly down or up as shown, through last 4 chords
in the 4th bar each time ending on G5th or the C and picking it back up in tempo while keeping ring finger
anchored on b string, 3rd fret
Use what is shown and adjust it to fit the rest of the verses and repeat.
Play around with it till you get the timing or just use the G chord during intro, verses and outro.
The G chord fits nicely by itself too.
Not worried about perfection. Have fun with it to the best of your ability.
Use the numbers shown; 1 2 3 1 2 3 to count to yourself while playing
to help get the feel for it and get a doubletime strum going.
