Intro: Am  Dm  Am  Dm  (or Am   Am/B  A/C   Dm  Dm/E  Dm/F 


Am                                          Dm 
On the restless road to nowhere, there's no certain peace, it seems 
Am                      Dm 
Desire to keep on moving to the River of Dreams 
Am                                   Dm 
Is it just because someone told you? Is it just because you found 
Am                      Dm 
Old Freedom feels uneasy when duty is around? 

Fmaj7                               Em 
When allegiance asks the questions, Old Freedom twists and turns 
    Dm                        Am                   (G optional) 
And chokes on codes of Honor, on the Sword of No Return 

Dm  G                            Am 
       And it's The Curse of the Traveller 
Dm  G                            Am 
                The Curse of the Traveller 
Dm  G                            Am           
                   Got a hold of me 
Dm  G                            Am         
            And it won't let you be 

Am   D   Am  D 

And in sleepless nights, you'll call her name 
And feel loneliness, cold to the bone 

And when the daylight breaks, this old tired heart aches 
To be such a long way, such a long way from home 

And you long for the harbor lights, but you'll never be free 
Of the craving for refuge and the call of the sea 

Always wanting to sell out, but always needing to buy 
So til the road leads to somewhere and that river runs dry 

It's the curse of the traveller 
Ain't gonna let you be 
The curse of the traveller 
And it sure got a hold of me
