I Wanna Know
Robert Earl Keen

Capo 4


Intro chords:
G  G/F#  C  G  C  C/B  Am  C  D  G twice

G              G/F#     
Have you got a minute
C                  G
A little time that we can spend
C           C/B 
Open up and let me in
Am             D
Share some memories
G           G/F#
People in a hurry
C              G 
Every day goes by so fast
C                C/B
No one takes the time to ask 
Am             D
how it used to be


Chorus:
D        
I wanna know
C                      G
Did your father own an automobile 
     D                       G
or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
C                  C/B
I hear you used to walk to school 
Am            D
seven miles a day
C                   G
Did you ever ride a railroad train 
        D                   G 
and the very first time you saw a plane
        C                   C/B
Did you think the world had gone insane
        Am                 D
Tell me what you’ve got to say
          G    G/F#   C  G   C  C/B  Am  C  D
I want to know


Words can paint a picture
Sharper than a photograph
I know you can take me back 
To times I’ll never see
Got a lot of questions
There’s so much I want to learn
You can make the pages turn in living history

Chorus

Have you got a minute?
A little time that we could spend
Open up and let me in
Share some memories
