E A E
Fourth and Beale day after the first
E B A
This heat's unreal - I'm dyin' of thirst
A E A
Pick up the pay - for pullin' my weight
A E
'neath the street lights and stars
E B E
Now I'm walking home late
[Verse 2]
E A E
Lights up on the river drop of rain just fell
E B A
With the neon by the motor hotel
A E A
Muddy water swirlin' - midnight cross
E B E
Morning glory's creepin' up the red brick walls
[Chorus]
A E
Walkin' home whistlin' 'neath the stars above
B
A careless, happy song of love
A/D E A/D
Today at noon I thought I'd dis-in-te-grate
E B E
But it's cooling off now and I'm walking home late
[Bridge]
A
Things didn't workout west in Hollywood
A E B E
So you never got lucky, did you ever get good?
A
Forget the money you're gifted and young
F#m B
You're sweet as honey songs'll roll off your tongue - girl
[Verse 3]
E A E
Sunday in Memphis by the river at dock
E B A
Th' Washington singers out in Handy Park - there's a
A E A
Twelve year old girl knows how to play
E B E
Rockin' hard and singin' through a beat up PA
[Verse 4]
E A E
Peabody Hotel lobby is dead
E B
Looks like this whole town's gone to bed
A E A
A breeze is stirrin' - the walls radiate
E B E
There's no one in sight I'm walkin' home late
[Chorus]
A E
Walkin' home whistlin' 'neath the stars above
B
A careless happy song of love
A/D E A/D
Today at noon I thought of hoppin' a freight
E B E
But it's coolin' off now and I'm walkin' home late
