A Story Everybody Knows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Went[Am] to a[Dsus4] party,[D]
the New York style
I met a lady, make a sane man wild
She said the [G]words only her lips could say
She made me [Dm]want [D]to[G]
[D]throw my life away
But when I asked [Em]her, she said,
"Maybe [Am]tomorrow, B.B."
And that's [F]a story [Am]every
[D]body knows[G][C][D]

[Verse 2]
I took her [D]flying out across the sea
I thought I had her, I know that she had me
And when [G]we landed,
it was Paris, France
Seemed like a nice [D]place[G][D]
for some French romance
But when [Em]I touched her, she said,
"Maybe a little later[Am], B.B."
And that's [F]the story every
[D]body [G]knows[C][D]

[Verse 3]
We went to [D]Berlin, and to Stockholm, too
And on to Moscow, then to the Peking Zoo
As far as [G]travel,
she couldn't get too much
Somewhere [D]in Oakland,
[G]she[D] let me have just a little touch
And then she [Em]said,
"I'm late for beauty appointment,
I've got a [Am]headache,
and I believe I'm coming down with the flu."
And that's [D]the story
every[G]body [D]knows

[Outro 1]
[D]
