the walking song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Bacon fried, [Eb]squinty- eyed,
[Bb]moments of [F]the dawn
[C]Misty street [Eb]calling me,
[Bb]"Get dressed and walk [F]around"
[D]In the square,
[Eb]standing there [F]girl so sad
[G]"What's the matter"?

[Verse 2]
She said [G]"Oh,
oh dear sir,
the world has [F]got me [C]down
And folks [G]preach happiness when
[F]there's none to be [C]found
I type [G]and answer phones
to earn my [C]meager pay
To keep me [G]alive so I can
waste another [C]day"
I sadly [F]turned and walked away

[Verse 3]
[G]

[Verse 4]
For there was nothing I could say
[C]Walking on, [Eb]noonday sun,
[Bb]dusty road [F]to town
[C]Saddened by the [Eb]girl that I
[Bb]had chanced to come [F]upon
[D]Then, I'd seen [Eb]a limousine
A [F]rich old guy, [G]mean of eye

[Verse 5]
He [C]said
"Oh, [G]bah humbug, [F]you can't [C]understand
The [G]world is one big bank,
you must [F]steal what you [C]can
Because it's fools [G]like you who
[F]waste their pre[C]cious time
By walking [G]in the sun instead of
[F]trying to make a [C]dime"
[G]The words he spoke

[Verse 6]
turned
my world grey
Could everybody feel this way?
As if in answer down the road a lovely
girl picked flowers of gold
[Ab]She smiled sweetly and gave [Bb]one to me
And [Eb]said "Please,

[Verse 7]
[Bb]
kind sir, don't look [Ab]so do[Eb]wn
For in this [Bb]hard world love still [Ab]abound[Eb] s
And hand in [Bb]hand friends of [Ab]beauty can [Eb]lie
On clover [Bb]beds 'neath
[Ab]a blanket of [Eb]sky"[G]

[Verse 8]
Oh, [C]oh [G]dear sir,
the world has got me [C]down
(Oh, bah humbug,
you [G]can't understand)
And folks preach happiness when there's
none to be found
(The world is one big [C]bank,
you must steal what you can)
I type [G]and answer phones to earn
my [C]meager pay
(Because it's fools like you
who waste their precious time)
To keep [G]me alive so I can waste
another day
(By walking in the sun instead of [C]trying
to make a dime)

[Verse 9]
"How are you? [C]How are
you? How are you"?

[Verse 10]
"Hi, how are you'?
