Taking a Walk John Prine
Here is a really nice song off John Prine's latest album:
Fair and Square. It's called "Taking A Walk". It's kind
of a cool song to relax to, 'cause it's got a nice, slow and
steady beat to it, and top quality instrumentation. The
ensemble of the instruments in this song is genius. Enjoy!!

[G] [D] [C] [D] [G] [D] [C] [D]
VERSE ONE:
[G]A man came to our [D]house
[C]I be[D]lieve it was yester[G]day[D] [C] [D]
[G]I would have invited him [D]in
[C]But I din't [D]have a lot to [G]say[D] [C] [D]
BRIDGE ONE:
[B7]His anticipation of me [Em]opening the door
[B7]Outweighed my apprehension as it [Em]never had before
[B7]And drove my concentration
Right [Em]through that hardwood floor
[C]Oh,oh, uh-[D]huh
CHORUS:
[D]I'm taking a [G]walk[D] [C] [D]

[D]I'm taking a [G]walk[D] [C] [D]

VERSE TWO:
There's a girl in the Whitehouse
I don't even know her name
Her disheveled appearance
Speaks volumes of shame
BRIDGE TWO:
It's an embarrassing situation
But a situation just the same
The way she walks on others
And never takes the blame
Upsets my constitution
Beyond it's mortal frame
Oh,oh, uh-huh
CHORUS:
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I'm just getting by
INSTRUMENTAL: VERSE CHORDS, BRIDGE CHORDS.
VERSE THREE:
Found a card in the pocket
Of my worn out overalls
Now residing in Idaho Falls
BRIDGE THREE:
I wish you could have been there
When she opened up the door
And looked me in the face
Like she never did before
I felt about as welcome
As a Wal-Mart superstore
Oh,oh, uh-uh
**Note: The D chord is held longer after the word uh-huh,
Before the chorus starts this time.
CHORUS:
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I don't need a ride
I'm watching the birds
Flying so high
