TRAVELIN’ MAN
By: Jerry Fuller
Ricky Nelson
Key: Eb

 3 -3*  4 -3* -3* -3* -1* 
I'm a trav-el-in' man and 
-1*   3  -3* 4  -5   4
I've made a lot-ta stops
-1* 3 -3*  4   -3*
all ov-er the world
 3 -3* 4   -5 4-3* 3-2 -2 -1*  -1*
And in ev-‘ry port I  own the heart 
1  -1*  3    3   -2  -2  -1*
of at least one love-ly girl

|-3*-3*-3*-3*-3*
 
 3  -3*  4 -3*-3* 3 -3* 4   -3*  4  -5  4
I've a pret-ty se-no-ri-ta wait-in' for me   
 -1* -1* 3  -3* 4 -3*
down in old Mex-i-co
-1*  3   -3*  4  -5 4 -3* 4 -3*  3   -2 -2-1*
And if you're ev-er in A-las-ka stop and see 
-1*  3    3 -1* -2 -2 -1* 
my cute lit-tle Es-ki-mo
4  -5  -5*   -5    5   -5  -5* -5  5   -3* 
Oh my sweet frau-lien down in Ber-lin town 
  3*  3   -2     3   3* 3 -3*  
makes my heart start to yearn
 4  -5 -5* -5  5    -5  -5* -5  5    -3*
And my Chi-na doll down in old Hong Kong 
  5    5 -3* -3  -3* 
waits for my re-turn
  3 -3*  4 -3*-3*  3 -3* 4 -3* 4  -5   4
Pret-ty Pol-y-ne-sian ba-by ov-er the sea 
-1*-1* 3  -3*  4   -3*
I  re-mem-ber the night
  3  -3*  4    -5  4    4   -3* 3  -2 -1* 
When we walked on the sands of Wai-ki-ki 
-2 -1*  3   3  -2 -2  -1*
and I held you oh so tight

|-3*-3*-3*3*-3*

REPEAT AND END WITH

|-3*-3*-3*-3*-3*-3*-3*

-5*  -5  5  -5  5  5    5
Oh,  I'm a trav-el-in' man
-5*  -5  5  -5  5  5    5
Yes, I'm a trav-el-in' man
