Walking Her Home Mark Schultz
Really simple and touching song in my opinion. You can capo this however you want
to fit your voice, I don't use a capo but I believe the original is in capo 4. I
added a few stylistic things I use to make it sound better (my opinion) use them
if you wish, enjoy!
Looking [G]back
He sees it[D] all
It was [Em]her first date the [D]night he came to [C]call
Her dad said [G]son
Have her home on[D] time
And [Em]promise me you'll [D]never leave her [C]side
[Am]He took her[G] to a show in [D]town[Am]
And he was [G]ten feet off the [C]ground
(Chorus)
He was walking her [G]home
And holding her [D]hand
Oh the way she [Em]smiled it stole the [D]breath right out of [C]him
Down that old [G]road
With the stars up a[D]bove
He remembers w[Em]here he was the [D]night he fell in l[C]ove
He was walking her [G]home
Interlude: (keep playing that G for a measure then) D Em C (play for a measure
then let it ring on the first beat into the G on the downbeat or on "room")
Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
(Chorus)
G D Em C (don't do the ringing thing here just go straight into the Am)
[Am]He walked her t[G]hrough the best days of her [D]life
[Am]Sixty years tog[G]ether and he [C]never left her [D]side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
End on G
