Cheryl Wheeler - Alice
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:    C     Dm      F  G  
CAlice works the desk at the DmEast Bay Hotel
In FGrand Marais, MinneGsota
CI came in one night, she said, "I Dmloved your show"
We Fsat and talked on the GsofaC  
She's on her Fown since her Ghusband passed awayC  
Some surgeon Fscrewed up, there's Gnothing left to say
Now she Cworks this desk at night and the Dmcampground by day
In a Ftrailer by the lake, until the Gsummer blows away
She Cread about the job in a Dmcamping magazine
And Fhome was just a reGminder
So she Ctook the cat and dog, Dmstored away her thingsF  
Left the bleakness beGhind herC  
Even Fnow through the Gache of missing himC  
She's filled with Fwonder and Gfar from giving in
She sees Cmagic on the lake in the Dmearly morning light
And Ftalking books and telling tales, we Gsat there half the night
CHORUS:
And she said, "The Cmore I travel, the Fmore I wanna see
GMy kids want some Csettled life for me
I don't wanna Amove somewhere and grow Dmold quietDsus2ly
And the more I Gtravel, the Fmore I wanna Csee"
Well, it's Ctime to make a change, with Dmwinter in the wings
And the FEast Bay Hotel made an Goffer
But she Cdoesn't really know, 'cause there's Dmeverywhere to go
And there's Feverything that travelling has Gtaught herC  
Moving Fmarches down Gbusy city streetsC  
Fantastic people she's Fprivileged to Gmeet
And she Cdreams about Alaska, the Dmsnow so deep and white
And that Flittle town in Texas, where there's Gdancing every night
CHORUS:
She says, "The Cmore I travel, the Fmore I wanna see
GMy kids want some Csettled life for me
I don't wanna Amove somewhere and grow Dmold quietDsus2ly
And the more I Gtravel"F  C  
CHORUS:
"The more I travel, the Fmore I wanna see
GMy kids want some Csettled life for me
I don't wanna Amove somewhere and grow Dmold quietDsus2ly
And the more I Gtravel, the Fmore I wanna Csee"
The Gmore I wanna Csee"

C Dm F G

INTRO:

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:

"The more I travel, the more I wanna see

My kids want some settled life for me

The more I wanna see"
