Walking Stories

     G                          C
On a curbside in Chicago sits a worn-out cardboard sign
Am7                       D
Here, the man who sober's hard to find
G                          C
And to the woman with nine dollars to her name
Am7                      D
Dropped a coin into that old man's cup of change

[Chorus]

C                 G
We're all walking stories
D               Am7

   C         G               D               Am7
A paperback expression of a life worth being told
C             G             D               Am7
Every step we take, another scribble on the page
C                 G
We're all walking stories
D                     G
What's yours going to say

[Instrumental]

G, C, Am7, D

[Verse 2]

G                               C                           Am7
There was a time when black and white couldn't live side by side
                 D
And skin was the only color you would see
G                                C                          Am7
But that all changed the day one woman wouldn't give up her seat
                          D
And Martin Luther shouted out "I have a dream"

[Chorus]

C                 G
We're all walking stories
D               Am7

[Verse 3]

G*                      C*
There was a man back before me and you
Am7*                    D*
Who put his life upon a tree
G                              C
And bled the blood that washed all us sinners clean
Am7                     D
And gave forgiveness to all humanity

[Chorus]
