John Prine - Taking A Walk guitar chord

TAKING A WALK

JOHN PRINE

ALBUM: FAIR AND SQUARE

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!!

INTRO: G D C D G D C G

G D C D G D C D

VERSE ONE:

G D

A man came to our house

C D G D C D

I believe it was yesterday

G D

I would have invited him in

C D G D C D

But I din't have a lot to say

BRIDGE ONE:

B7 Em

His anticipation of me opening the door

B7 Em

Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before

B7

And drove my concentration

Em

Right through that hardwood floor

C D

Oh,oh, uh-huh

CHORUS:

D G D C D

I'm taking a walk

D G D C D

I'm going outside

D G D C D

I'm taking a walk

D G D C D

I'm just getting by

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

From a girl in Cedar Rapids

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
