I Wanna Know
Capo 4th 
       G  D  C G  C C/BAmC D
Intro:                    
G                     C                   G
Have you got a minute; a little time that we can spend
C            G         Am           D
Open up and let me in share some memories
G                    C            G
People in a hurry; every day goes by so fast
C                 G           Am             D
No one takes the time to ask, how it used to be
Chorus:
D              C                       G
I wanna know, did your father own an automobile 
      C                       G
Or a two horse carriage with wood spoke wheels?
C                   G              Am            D
I hear you used to walk to school seven miles a day
C                     G                     C                   G
Did you ever ride a railroad train and the very first time you saw a plane
         C                   G
Did you think the world had gone insane?
         Am                 D             G   D   C  G   C  C/B  Am  C  D
Tell me what you’ve got to say 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
