Paul Kelly - Stories of Me

      
STORIES OF ME

Paul Kelly

Great song that's easy to play, easy to sing. One of my favourites from the great Paul Kelly. 
Play it with a strong beat and really get into that instrumental section in the bridge.

 


Intro: 

G  D  Em
 

Verse 1:

Em                             G         D       Em
Ever since you said goodbye, I've had a reputation

                             G       D          Em
I'm not drinking on the sly, I'm the star attraction

G             D          Am              C           Em
Every morning I wake up, Fill my cup and listen bitterly

    G   D     Em      G   D   Em
To stories of me



Verse 2:

Em                                G         D       Em
They say a man is going 'round, he looks a lot like me

                                 G         D          Em
They say that man is going down, it's looking pretty likely

G             D         Am                 C           Em
Every morning he wakes, fills his cup and listens shamefully

   G    D     Em      G   D   Em
To stories of me



Bridge: 

D              Em       D                   Em         D
Everybody come on down, set 'em up and pass 'em round

D           Em      G       D
We're all here......for a drowning

Verse 3:

Em                           G         D        Em
I was down at Baker's Hall, I heard somebody talking

                                 G       D         Em
That's the last thing I recall, then my mind went walking

G             D         Am                 C           Em
I woke up with a heavy head, on a hard bed trying to believe
