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
