Walls

C   Am   G   Am   G

[Verse 1]
   C             Am                
He comes in each evening where the 
F        C    C
music is loud
                Am         F  
And keeps to himself  in a blue 
           G     G
collared crowd
   F                 Am        F
He once had a future he had it all
          C              Am       
Built his world around a woman  
  G           Am   G
but now he will fall

[Verse 2]
     C          Am         
They say he was married to a 
  F          C     C
Birmingham dream
               Am       F         
He built her a mansion  fit for a 
G     G
queen
    F                              
But she upped and left him for some
 Am            F    F
 fool from St. Paul
Continues after the ad
    C             Am           G 
She tore down his mansion  and 
            C     C
left him with walls

[Chorus]
     F
Ever since she's been gone
He's fenced back in stones around 
    C     C
his heart
       F                         
And he won't tear them down while 
     D               D7
her memory's still around
           G           Dm7         
So he just sits there alone in the 
G    G
dark

[Solo]
|  C  | Am |  F  |  C  |

|  C  | Am |  G  |  C  |  C

[Chorus]
     F
Ever since she's been gone
He's fenced back in stones around 
    C     C
his heart
       F                         
And he won't tear them down while 
     D               D7
her memory's still around
           G           Dm7         
So he just sits there alone in the 
G    G
dark

[Verse 3]
   C             Am                
He comes in each evening where the 
F        C    G
music is loud
    C           Am         F 
And keeps to himself  in a blue 
            G     G
collared crowd
   F                     Am        
He once had a future, oh he had it 
F   F
all
          C              Am       
Built his world around a woman  
  G              C    C
but now he built a wall
