Walking Home Late

E                     A         E
Fourth and Beale day after the first
E                         B      
This heat's unreal - I'm dyin' of
         A
 thirst
A                      E      
Pick up the pay - for pullin' my 
    A
weight
A          E
'neath the street lights and stars
E        B            E
Now I'm walking home late

[Verse 2]
E                               A
Lights up on the river drop of 
         E
rain just fell
E                    B           A
With the neon by the motor hotel
A                       E    
Muddy water swirlin' - midnight 
    A
cross
E                                
Morning glory's creepin' up the 
B        E
red brick walls

[Chorus]
A                               
Walkin' home whistlin' 'neath the 
   E
stars above

B
A careless, happy song of love
A/D                       
Today at noon I thought I'd 
  E         A/D
dis-in-te-grate
          E                     
But it's cooling off now and I'm 
  B            E
walking home late

[Bridge]
A
Things didn't workout west in 
Hollywood
A                        E       
So you never got lucky, did you 
B        E
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       
Sunday in Memphis by the river at 
 E
dock
E                               B
Th' Washington singers out in 
                   A
Handy Park - there's a
A                     E           
Twelve year old girl knows how to 
 A
play
E                                 
Rockin' hard and singin' through a
  B       E
 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 breeze is stirrin' - the walls 
    A
radiate
E                           B    
There's no one in sight I'm 
         E
walkin' home late

[Chorus]
A                               
Walkin' home whistlin' 'neath the 
   E
stars above
B
A careless happy song of love
A/D                         E    
Today at noon I thought of 
     A/D
hoppin' a freight
          E                     
But it's coolin' off now and I'm 
  B            E
walkin' home late
