By: John B. Sebastian, 1974
Intro: D Dsus2
[D]Talkin' to myself again
Wonderin' if this travellin' is[A] good
Is there somethin' else a' doin'
We'd be doin' if w[D]e could
Chorus:
[G] But ah, the [A]stories we could [D]tell
And i[G]f it all blows [A]up and goes to[D] Hell
G A D G rundown bass F# into Em7
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
[D]Listen to the [A]stories we could [D]tell
[D]Stared at that guitar in that museum in Tennessee
Nameplate on the glass brought back[A] twenty melodies
D G rundown bass F# into Em7
Scars upon the face told of all the times he fell
[D]Singin' all the [A]stories he could [D]tell
Chorus:
Ah, the stories he could tell
And I'll bet you it still rings like a bell
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
And listen to the stories it could tell
[D]So if you're on the road trackin' down your every night
Playin' for a livin' beneath [A]brightly colored lights
D G rundown bass F# into Em7
And if you ever wonder why you ride the carousel
[D]You do it for the [A]stories you can [D]tell
Chorus:
Ah, the stories we could tell
And if it all blows up and goes to Hell
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
Just listen to the stories we could tell
I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some motel
And listen to the stories we could tell
