[Bm] [D] [B]
[D]
[Bm] I [Em] haven't done it recently so I probably don't know it anymore.
[A] I wrote this song up in [D] Grand Marais, Minnesota.
I got it started right there.
[B]
Grand Marais is one of my favorite places [D] in the world.
It's [N] 110 miles north of Duluth, a beautiful, beautiful place right on Lake Superior.
So the first time I ever went there I was excited to get to go there and see this beautiful northern town.
When the gig was over that night I went back to the hotel and ended up sitting on a sofa
in the hotel lobby and talking for hours and hours.
This is just fascinating.
My name's Alice.
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[A] [D] Alice works the desk [G] at the East Bay Hotel in Grand Marais, [A] Minnesota.
I [D] came in one night.
[Bm] She said, I loved your show.
[D] And we sat and talked [A] all the summer.
[Bm] She's on her own since [A] her husband passed away.
[Bm] Some surgeon screwed up, [A] there's nothing left to say.
Now she works this desk at night and [G] the campground by day.
In [D] a trailer by the lake until [A] the summer blows away.
[D]
She read about the job in [Bm] a camping magazine [D] and home was just [A] a reminder.
[D] So she took the cat and dog, [Bm] stored away the things, [D] left the bleakness [A] behind her.
[D] Even now through [A] the ache of missing him, [B] she's filled with wonder [A] and far from giving in.
She sees [D] magic on the lake [Em] in the early morning light.
[D] Talking books and telling [A] tales, we sat there half the night.
She [D] said, the more I travel, [G] the more I want to sing.
[A] My kids want some settled [D] life from me.
I [B] don't want to move somewhere and [Em] grow old [G] quietly.
The [A] more I travel,
[Dm] the more [A] I [D] want to sing.
Well it's time to make a change, [Em] with winter in the wings.
[D] And the East Bay Hotel [A] made an offer, but [D] she doesn't really know.
Cause [Em] there's everywhere [G] to go, and there's everything [D] that traveling [A] has taught her.
[Bm] Moving marches [A] down busy city streets.
[Bm] Fantastic people [A] she's privileged to meet.
And she dreams about Alaska, [Em] the snow so deep and white.
And [D] that little town in Texas where [A] there's dancing every night.
She says, the [D] more I travel, [G] the more I want to sing.
