Emaj7 (one bar)
Emaj7
The sky is underwater out my windowsill
Bm
Gutter's gettin' full; ready to spill
A
Phone's been ringing never get any rest
E
Doin' all I can just to be at my best

Emaj7 (one bar)



Walk out on the street; mud caked to my feet
Sky is getting' grayer and it's ready to sleet
Car's a mile down; traffic's gettin' bad
Seems like sunny days are just a passing fad

F#m
And all I really wanted to do
    A                      B
was get on home and take a walk with you

(Intro)

The sun is flyin' high. A mountain's out my door
30 people dancin' on the bar room floor
Band is playin' wicked and their kickin' into gear
Might be the sweetest sound that I ever did hear

The food is on the table piled mighty high
Think I'll give that wine just one more try
The night is flyin' by and it's getting' near the end
Did a little more than my first intent

But all I really needed to do
was get on home and take a walk with you

(Intro)

Son is off to college not doing so well
Daughter's wearin' black won't break out of her shell
Mortgage paid off but the taxes are high
Can't really trust that accountant guy

Think we'll go to Paris for vacation this Spring
Give our friend Pierre a nice surprise ring
Maybe take a lunch on the Champs Elysees
Talk about  the fun in the good old days

But all I ever needed to do
was get on home and take a walk with you

(full intro - end on Dm7)
