Verse 
                                    F 
On the first day of the journey the traveller was prepared 
    C                         G 
And words of consolation were never heard 
                                          F 
He didn't know where he was going, just a poem in his mind 
    C                            G 
And all the things he valued, he left behind 

Am F Running for the money C G Running for the fame Am F Lost where he was going G F C G And forgot his name
Verse F The promised land was waiting, his vision led him on C G But only promises were waiting, for the rest had gone F So he asked a band of travellers, who turned the other way C G And left him in the wilderness to face the day
Am F Running for the money C G Running for the fame Am F Lost where he was going G F C G And forgot his name
Verse F He wandered through the desert, where the land lay in waste C G He was guided by the blinding sun, which burned his face F So he turned to the mountains, where the air was fresh and clear C G And the cold wind chilled his body, and his death was near
Am F Running for the money C G Running for the fame Am F Lost where he was going G F C G And forgot his name
Verse F So the traveller came home again, an old and feeble man C G There was no one there to greet him, everyone had gone F No one left to listen and no one left to hear C G And everything had turned to dust, and the earth was bare
Am F Running for the money C G Running for the fame Am F Lost where he was going G F C G And forgot his name Am F Running for the money C G Running for the fame Am F Lost where he was going G F C G And forgot his name
