This is the chord progression of Story To Tell by Darius Rucker on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.
[Verse 1]
G
I grew up in the country
Cadd9 D
Six kids in a two room shack
Cadd9 G
Soon as I learned those three chords
D C add9 G
I had a guitar on my back
G
I wanted to carry a football
Cadd9 D
That dream came and went real soon
Cadd9 G
Made it through two years of college
D Cadd9 G
Thank God I could carry a tune
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
Nah nah, yeah-eh, thank God, I could carry a tune
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
I\’ve known love, I\’ve known pain
Em D
Got a little rusty in the rain
Cadd9 G
I\’ve been lost, I\’ve been found
Em D
I left my mark on my little bitty town
Cadd9 G
Yeah, raised me a few good babies
Em D
Raised me a whole lotta hell
Cadd9 G
And if I ever get to heaven
D Cadd9 G
I\’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
If I, get there, I\’m gonna have a story to tell
[Verse 2]
G
I drank a lot of cheap whiskey
Cadd9 D
Shut down too many bars
Cadd9 G
Low as a dog in the valley
D Cadd9 G
And high as the Carolina stars
G
I\’ve kissed some girls, still missed some girls
Cadd9 D
Most beautiful you\’ve ever seen
Cadd9 G
I gave my heart to a woman
D Cadd9 G
Who didn\’t give a damn about me
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
I\’ve known love, I\’ve known pain
Em D
Got a little rusty in the rain
Cadd9 G
I\’ve been lost, I\’ve been found
Em D
I left my mark on my little bitty town
Cadd9 G
Yeah, raised me a few good babies
Em D
Raised me a whole lotta hell
Cadd9 G
And if I ever get to heaven
D Cadd9 G
I\’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
If I, get there, I\’m gonna have a story to tell
[Bridge]
Em G
It\’s got some parts that\’ll make you laugh
Cadd9 G
And some that\’ll make you cry
Em G
Some pages I wish I could tear out
Cadd9 G
Well I ain\’t gonna tell no lie
Cadd9 G
\’Cause it\’s a story of my life
G
No I can\’t preach or give no advice
Cadd9 G
I didn\’t do everything well
G
But man, just live while you\’re alive
D Cadd9 G
And try to have a story to tell
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
I\’ve known love, I\’ve known pain
Em D
Got a little rusty in the rain
Cadd9 G
Yeah I\’ve been lost, I\’ve been found
Em D
I left my mark on my little bitty town
Cadd9 G
I raised me a few good babies
Em D
I raised me a whole lotta hell
Cadd9 G
And if I ever get to heaven
D Cadd9 G
I\’m gonna have a story to tell, yeah
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
If I, get there, I\’ll have a real good story to tell
Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G
Nah nah, yeah-eh, I\’ll have a real good story to tell.
