[Verse 1]
[D]Walk tall
Walk [G]tall, walk straight and look
[D]the world right in the [G]eye
That's [C]what my mama told me
when I was [G]about knee high
She [C]said son, be a proud man
and [G]hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[D]the world right in the [G]eye

[Verse 2]
All [G]through the years that I grew up,
ma [D]taught these things to [G]me
But [C]I was young and foolish then
and [G]much too blind to see
[C]I ignored the things she said
as [G]if I'd never heard
Now I see and under[D]stand
the wisdom of [G]her words

[Verse 3]
Walk tall, walk [G]straight and [D]look
the world right in the [G]eye
That's [C]what my mama told me
when I was [D]about knee [G]high
She [C]said, son, be a proud man
and [G]hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[D]the world right in the [G]eye

[Verse 4]
I started goin' [G]places where
[D]the youngsters shouldn't [G]go
I [C]got to know the kind of girls
it's [G]better not to know
I [C]fell in with a bad crowd [G]and laughed
and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's [D]words
would echo now [G]and then

[Verse 5]
Walk [G]tall, walk straight and look
[D]the world right in the [G]eye
That's [C]what my mama told me
when [G]I was about knee high
She [C]said, son,
be a proud man and [G]hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[D]the world right in the [G]eye[E]

[Verse 6]
I [E]got in [A]trouble with the law and
[E]I'm in prison [A]now
[D]Through these prison bars I see things
[A]so much different now
[D]I've got one year left to serve
and [A]when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make
ma proud [E]to call [A]me son

[Verse 7]
Walk tall, walk [A]straight and look
[E]the world right in the [A]eye
That's [D]what my mama told me
when [A]I was about knee high
She [D]said, son, be a proud man
and [A]hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[E]the world right in the [A]eye
Walk tall, walk straight and
look [E]the world right [A]in
