Walk Tall

     G                             
Walk tall walk straight and look 
  D                  G
the world right in the eye
       C                         G
That's what my mama told me when I 
was about knee high
    C                           G
She said son be a proud man and hold
 your head up high
Walk tall walk straight and look the
 D                  G
 world right in the eye


(Verse 1)
G                                 
All through the years that I grew 
      D                      G
up ma taught these things to me
    C                              
But I was young and foolish then 
  G
and much too blind to see
C                                
I ignored the things she said as if 
G
I'd never heard
                             D     
Now I see and understand the wisdom
        G
 of her words

(Chorus)
     G                             
Walk tall walk straight and look 
  D                  G
the world right in the eye
       C                         G
That's what my mama told me when I 
was about knee high

(Verse 2)
G                                
I started goin' places where the 
D                    G
youngsters shouldn't go
  C                                
I got to know the kind of girls 
  G
it's better not to know
  C                           
I fell in with a bad crowd and 
 G
laughed and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words 
      D            G
would echo now and then

(Chorus)
     G                             
Walk tall walk straight and look

(Verse 3)
  A                               
I got in trouble with the law and 
E             A
I'm in prison now
D                             
Through these prison bars I see 
         A
things so much different now
D                                 
I've got one year left to serve 
  A
and when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make
    E                A
 ma proud to call me son

(Chorus)
A                                 
Walk tall walk straight and look 
   E                  A
the world right in the eye
       D                         A
That's what my mama told me when I 
was about knee high
    D                           A
She said son be a proud man and hold
 your head up high
Walk tall walk straight and look the
 E                  A
 world right in the eye
Walk tall walk straight and look the
 E                  A
 world right in the eye
     E       N.C. A
Walk tall    walk tall
