Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][D]

[Verse 1]
He was there when [D]I started,
In [G]Knoxville Ten[Gsus2]nessee[D]
Hope none for patty and love[Dsus4]less,
[D]Nov[A]ember of ninety-three

[Verse 2]
[A]Full [D]Full of friends, mom,
and un[Dsus4]cle Butch[D]
And [G]the crowd was really [Gsus2]small
[D]He'd say I was a s[Bm]cared kid,
[G]If this bus could talk
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Some nights we'd dance
with the dev[Dsus4]il
[D]Some nights [G]we'd pray
to [Asus4]the Lord[D]
Between vibrant passes and
rubber arena glasses
He was [Asus4]never really bored
[A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
We were starry eyed dreamers,
[G]Bouncing off [D]the wall
And all the stories he [Bm]could tell,
[G]If this bus could talk
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]He'd sing of pool halls in [D]Texas
And have [Em]a corn dog in county [D]fair
[G]Girls that we made cry,
[D]Some crowds that didn't[A] care

[Verse 6]
And [G]Bobby road us down [D]in Bama
He kept [Em]rocking through it a[D]ll
All the stories he [G]could tell,[A]
[Asus4]If this bus co[D]uld talk

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Late night con[Dsus4]versations,[D]
Full [G]of drunk [D]philosophy
On politics and religion,
[Dsus4]Football [D]and[A] family[Asus4]

[Verse 8]
[D]The lovers that we missed,
And the [G]lovers that [D]we lost
All [A]the secrets he [Bm]could share
[G]If this bus could talk
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]He'd seen Virginia Bea[D]ch,
[Em]Caught in [D]a hurricane
[G]He roads I wish I never met[D]
But he ain't nam[A]ing names

[Verse 10]
[G]We learned the code of the
[D]road at the grizzly rose
[Em]When we had [D]a bone
All the stories he [Em]could serve[A][Asus4]
[A]If this bus could talk

[Interlude 2]
[D][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 11]
Many years [D]of summers,
And I hope [G]it never [Gsus2]ends
[D]Been down so many highways,
Full [A]of twists an[Asus4]d turn
[D]s and b[A]ends

[Verse 12]
[D]We caught lightning in [G]a b[D]ottle,
Some[G]how we survived it [Gsus2]all[D]
All the stories he [Bm]could tell,
[G]If this bus could talk
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 13]
[G]
As I leave [D]the stage,
Still [Em]high from your [D]applause
He'd tell you [Bm]that [C]I love [G]you,[A]
If this bus [D]could [G]talk
[A]If [Asus4]this bus coul[D]d talk[G]
[A]If this bus could [D]talk
[G][A][D][A][G]
[Asus4]If this bus could [A]talk

[Outro 1]
