Cheryl Wheeler - Alice
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Dm F G
C Dm
Alice works the desk at the East Bay Hotel
F G
In Grand Marais, Minnesota
C Dm
I came in one night, she said, "I loved your show"
F G C
We sat and talked on the sofa
F G C
She's on her own since her husband passed away
F G
Some surgeon screwed up, there's nothing left to say
C Dm
Now she works this desk at night and the campground by day
F G
In a trailer by the lake, until the summer blows away
C Dm
She read about the job in a camping magazine
F G
And home was just a reminder
C Dm F
So she took the cat and dog, stored away her things
G C
Left the bleakness behind her
F G C
Even now through the ache of missing him
F G
She's filled with wonder and far from giving in
C Dm
She sees magic on the lake in the early morning light
F G
And talking books and telling tales, we sat there half the night
CHORUS:
C F
And she said, "The more I travel, the more I wanna see
G C
My kids want some settled life for me
A Dm Dsus2
I don't wanna move somewhere and grow old quietly
G F C
And the more I travel, the more I wanna see"
C Dm
Well, it's time to make a change, with winter in the wings
F G
And the East Bay Hotel made an offer
C Dm
But she doesn't really know, 'cause there's everywhere to go
F G C
And there's everything that travelling has taught her
F G C
Moving marches down busy city streets
F G
Fantastic people she's privileged to meet
C Dm
And she dreams about Alaska, the snow so deep and white
F G
And that little town in Texas, where there's dancing every night
CHORUS:
C F
She says, "The more I travel, the more I wanna see
G C
My kids want some settled life for me
A Dm Dsus2
I don't wanna move somewhere and grow old quietly
G F C
And the more I travel"
CHORUS:
F
"The more I travel, the more I wanna see
G C
My kids want some settled life for me
A Dm Dsus2
I don't wanna move somewhere and grow old quietly
G F C
And the more I travel, the more I wanna see"
G C
The more I wanna see"
