Kept On Walking

Dm

[Verse 1]

   Dm
I woke up early this morning
                  Bb
Went downtown and I got a cup of 
coffee
                   C               
Drink it on up then I got a little 
               F
jumpy
                       C         
Then I had a thought that I can't 
                  Dm
remember
Dm
Walked around town looking down at 
my
shadow
                    Bb
Pick up a nickel older than I
                    C
Gave it to a man who needed a shot 
of liquor
I could tell by the look in his eye
            A

Walking around the bus station I saw
 Dm
 a young girl
                        Bb
Couldn't have been older than 13
                    C
Smoking a cigarette pregnant and 
barefoot
I said "Hello" she said "The world 
                          Dm
is mean"

[Hook]

So I kept on walking
                        Bb
Taking in the scenery
                     C
Observing everything
                      A
And what it means to me
                          D
Could it be as simple
Dm              Bb
As me just being me
                     C             
Looking for sweet Conformation

[Verse 2]
Dm
To the hardware store
                                Bb
Asked the manager for an application
                             C
And on the way out I threw it in the
 trash cuz
                             Am  
Something in my head said just be 
                      F
patient
                               Dm
I saw a bunch of birds on top of the
 court house
                        Bb
Sitting on the edge all in a row
                             C
If I didn't know better I'd swear 
they were watching me
I think I heard a bird tell another 
                        A
there he goes
          Dm
Then saw a mannequin in the window
                       Bb
The prettiest woman that I've ever 
seen
                                C
Wearing a green dress and beautiful 
string of pearls
        C
She wasn't interested in me

[Verse 3]
        Dm
To a seat on a bench on the corner
                    F              
Took a little rest beneath the 
            Bb
shady tree
                          F
'Long came an old lady with a 
walking cane
               C                
And she sat down next to me. She 
        Dm
said
Hey there dreamer how are you doing?
Said the doc told her she's 'bout to
                    Bb
 die
                      C
And yet she comes here everyday 
about this time
              Am                   
Just to watch the world pass by
       F

                   Dm
Gave me a nickel and said this is a 
fortune
Lit a cigarette and said the world 
                        Bb
is mean
              F                 
Just be patient the birds on the 
                    C
courthouse
               Am                  
Serve a purpose like you and me
         A

           Dm
Then I got up and said thank you 
kindly
                       Bb
And The sun broke through the trees
               C
And as I turn to walk away she said 
hey
Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she 
    Dm
can't
Gm
see
