On a Gcurbside in Chicago sits a Cworn-out cardboard sign
Am7Here, the man who sober's Dhard to find
GAnd to the woman with nine Cdollars to her name
Am7Dropped a coin into that Dold man's cup of change
[Chorus]
CWe're all walking Gstories
DAnother page to Am7turn
A pCaperback eGxpression of a lDife worth being Am7told
CEvery step we Gtake, another Dscribble on the Am7page
CWe're all walking Gstories
DWhat's yours going to Gsay
[Instrumental]
G, C, Am7, D  
[Verse 2]
GThere was a time when black and Cwhite couldn't live side by Am7side
And skin was the Donly color you would see
GBut that all changed the day one Cwoman wouldn't give up her Am7seat
And Martin Luther shouted Dout "I have a dream"
