Walkin In La

E   A


[Verse 1]
             A
When you're walkin' in A
                             E
Everybody knows that you're down
  E
Nobody walks anywhere any other way
        A
In this lonesome town
        A          Ab            A
Nothing separating you in the street
      B              Bb           
But a dollar and the shoes on your
  B
 feet


[Chorus]
             E
When you're walkin' in A
             E
When you're walkin' in A
            A
When you're walkin' in A


[Verse 2]
             A
When you're walkin' in A
                            E
Ain't nobody knows you're alive
              E
'Cause you're only as good in this 
city, they say
       A
As the car you drive
A              Ab         A
Rolling by all shiny and new
            B              Bb     
And there's nothing that a poor 
       B
boy can do


[Chorus]
             E
When you're walkin' in A

             E
When you're walkin' in A
            A
When you're walkin' in A


[Bridge]
D                 E             
Eighteen wheelers rolling by up 
D        A
on the 405
     D             E               
Well I ain't going anywhere 'cause 
B              E
I ain't got a ride


[Verse 3]
             A
When you're walkin' in A
                     E
Everybody passes you by
      E
Maybe glance up in the rearview 
mirror and say,
         A
"Who's that poor guy?"
            A             
Then you're staring at the 
 Ab          A
taillights again
     B          Bb       B
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes Benz


[Chorus]
             E
When you're walkin' in A
             E
When you're walkin' in A
            A
When you're walkin' in A

 Bush


[Bridge 2]
D                E               
Weekend warriors cruising up and 
D              A
down the boulevard
D               E               
Back to work on Monday morning, 
B                     E
think they've got it hard


[Verse 4]
             A
When you're walkin' in A
                               E
You might as well lay down and die
       E
'Cause nothing's gonna be alright 
anyway
          A
No matter how hard you try
  A             Ab       A
A pedestrian in Beverly Hills
          B            Bb   
Ain't got any place to go but 
       B
downhill


[Chorus]
             E
When you're walkin' in A
             E
When you're walkin' in A
            A
When you're walkin' in A
             E
When you're walkin' in A
             E
When you're walkin' in A
            A
When you're walkin' in A

E                         A
  When you're walkin' in A
