Artist/Band: Peter Dawson Tabs
Song: Travis County Heartbreak Tab
Great song to play on the front porch, or at a get together. Nifty walkup then down.
Intro:G-(walk up)-B7-C-(walk down)-A7-G-D-G
G (walk up)
I hide from myself in reality
B7
Livin' down in Austin chasin' crazy dreams
C
Nobody but my girlfriend thinks I'll be a star
A7
Another night singin' to an empty bar
G (walk up)
But I put on a smile And act like everything is right
B7
Prayin' to God To get me through another night
C
Everybody's makin' it down here but me it seems
A7
It's kinda like Hollywood in faded jeans
(CHOURS:)
G (w up )B7 C (w down) A7
This Travis County Heartbreak
G D G
Is gonna be the death of me
I go downtown and I drink too much
I throw them down just to lift my spirits up
Round after round the same old remedy
My social disease oh, it's killin' me
Yeah, the mornin' sun into my bloodshot eyes
Another late night helps me realize
That I'm not the only one that has a song to sing
And that's the truth that keeps scarin' me
(chours)
If I could find a way
To finally make it here
Kill these demons
And face my fears
Run them out
And burn them to the ground
And finally make a name
In this Godforsaken town
(chours x2)
Note: The chours is played just like the intro, and the first 2 words on the
second row is spoke more then it's sang.
