Subject: Travelin' Man by Ricky Nelson

I was surprised this wasn't on OLGA yet.  I heard it on the oldies radio
station a couple of weeks ago and remembered what a great tune it was.  Andy
Rogers must have forgot about this one.  You can tell I'm probably over 40
too.  Just a little.  I made a trip to the local library, checked out Ricky
Nelson's Greatest hits and worked this out on Saturday morning.  Hope I got
it right.  Thanks for all the great music.  I could use some Dave Clark Five.

I'm a travelin' man, made a lot of stops, all over the world

And in every port, I own the heart of at least one lonely girl.

I have a pretty senorita, waiting for me, down in old Mexico.


                Bm                               G          D           A    D
If you 're ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo.


            G                                  F#m             G                                  D
Oh my sweet frauline, down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn.


              G                                  F#m            E                   A7
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return.


           D                        Bm              D                       A7
Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea, I remember the night


               Bm                              G                   D             A      D
when we walked in the sands of Wai Ki Ki and I held her oh so tight.
