TELL ME THE STORY

Words and music ©1988 by Howard Ashby Kranz

  A

Like a child who’s just found out:

E

Mom’s a different person from me!

A

Like a game of peekaboo

E                                                                                 D

(She’s there, though she’s gone somewhere I can’t see.)

                                            E

I lie in our bed wondering do you still love me?

                         D                           E

What happens next?  Tell me the story.

 

A                    B7   E                     D

Tell me the story, one I’ve often heard.

A                             B7   E                     D

Tell me with your eyes, tell me using words.

A                    B7       E                      D

I have felt it glowing, I have seen it shine.

D                     E                                 A    

I know it well, but tell me one more time. 

 

  A                                           E

Ask me once, do I know the capital of Delaware?

  A                                   E

It’s Dover!  And when Goldilocks sat in the chair

  A                                                      E

it was too hard - too soft - just right!

                         D                          E

What happens next?  Tell me the story.

 

A                    B7   E                     D

Tell me the story, one I’ve often heard.

A                             B7   E                     D

Tell me with your eyes, tell me using words.

A                    B7       E                      D

I have felt it glowing, I have seen it shine.

D                     E                                 A     B7   A

I know it well, but tell me one more time. 

D                     E                                 A       

I know it well, but tell me one more time.
