Taking a Walk John Prine
[G] [Bm] [C] [D]
[G]A man came to [Bm]our house[C]I believe it[D]was yester[G]day[Bm] [C] [D]
[G]I would have invited him[Bm]in[C]But I[D]didn't have a lot to[G]say[Bm] [CD]
[Bm]His anticipation of me[Em]opening the door [Bm]Outweighed my apprehension as it
[Em]never had before And [Bm]drove my concentration right [Em]through that
hardwood floor [C]Oo-oo a-[D]ha
I'm taking A[G]walk[Bm] [C] [D]I'm going out[G]side[Bm] [C] [D]
I'm taking A [G]walk[Bm] [C] [D]I'm just getting [G]by [Bm] [C] [D]
[G]There's a girl in the [Bm]white house [C]I don't[D]even know her[G]name[Bm] [C] [D]
[G]Her disheveled [Bm]appearance [C] [D]Speaks volumes of[G]sham[Bm]E[C] [D]
[Bm]It's an embarrassing situation but a [Em]situation just the same
[Bm]The way she walks on others and [Em]never takes the blame
[Bm]Upsets my constitution be[Em]yond its mortal frame [C]Oo-oo a-[D]ha
I'm taking A [G]walk[Bm] [C] [D]I'm going out[G]side[Bm] [C] [D]
I'm watching the[G]bird[Bm]s [C] [D]I'm just getting[G]by[Bm] [C] [D] [C] [D]
[G]Found a card in the [Bm]pocket[C]Of my[D]worn out over[G]alls[Bm] [C] [D]
[G]From a girl in Cedar[Bm]Rapids[C]Now[D]residing in Idaho[G]Fall[Bm]s[C] [D]
[Bm]I wish you could have been there when [Em]she opened up the door
[Bm]And looked me in the face like she [Em]never did before
[Bm]I felt about as welcome as a [Em]Wal-Mart Superstore [C]0o-oo - a-[D]ha
I'm taking A [G]walk[Bm] [C] [D] I'm going out[G]side[Bm] [C] [D]
I'm taking A [G]walk[Bm] [C] [D] I don't need A [G]ride[Bm] [C] [D]
I'm watching the [G]bird[Bm]s [C] [D] Flying so [G]high[Bm] [C] [D]
