Walking Song

G

[Verse 1]
                       D7     G
Wouldn’t it be nice to walk together
                       C           
Baring our souls while wearing out 
    D7
the leather
G                   C           G
We could talk shop, harmonize a song
C              G       D7    G
Wouldn’t it be nice to walk along


[Verse 2]
I’ll show you houses of 
D7              G
architectural renown
                         C         
Some are still standing, some have 
       D7
fallen down
G                        C        
Farm houses buried under Canada’s 
G
snow
C       G             D7        
Spanish villas on the Boulevards
        G
 of Mexico


[Verse 3]
                           D7      
And I’ll learn to tell the ash from
     G
 the oak
Continúa después del anuncio
                         C         
And if you don’t know, I won’t make
    D7
 no joke
      G                            
We’ll climb to the top to view the 
C           G
world from above
   C                  G           
Or carve our initials in the 
       D7           G
trunk, like teenagers in love


[Verse 4]
                              D7   
And when we get hungry, we’ll stop 
   G
to eat
                                C  
Gotta think of our stomachs and 
      D7
rest our feet
    G                        C    
And if we get thirsty, we’ll have 
           G
a drink or two
     C            G        
In a mountain top bar with a 
  D7           G
mountain top view

  C  G  D7  G


[Verse 5]
                             D7    
And when we get tired, we’ll stop 
  G
to rest
And if you still want to talk, you 
    C         D7
can bare your breast
        G                          
If it’s Winter and cold, we’ll take
   C             G
 a rooming-house room
        C          G              
If it’s Summer and warm, we’ll 
   D7        G
sleep under the moon


[Verse 6]
                         D7        
And we’ll talk about the sports we 
G
played
‘Bout the time you got busted, or 
    C           D7
the times I got laid
      G              C           
We’ll talk blood and how we were 
G
bred
C              G           D7   
Talk about the folks, both 
      G
living and dead


[Verse 7]
                             D7  
This song, like this walk, I find 
         G
hard to end
               C     D7
Be my lover or be my friend
   G                    C          
In sneakers or boots or regulation 
G
shoes
C         G                    
Walking beside you, I’ll never 
D7              G
get the walking blues
