Dmaj7 A7sus4 Well the leaves have come to turning Dmaj7 A7sus4 Bbdim7 And the goose has gone to fly And bridges are for burning So don’t you let that yearning pass you by [Chorus 1] Dmaj7 A7sus4 Dmaj7 A7sus4 Walking man walking man walks Well any other man stops and talks Dmaj7 A7sus4 Dmaj7 A7sus4 But the walking man walks [Verse 2] Dmaj7 A7sus4 Well the frost is on the pumpkin Dmaj7 A7sus4 Bbdim7 And the hay is in the barn An’ Pappy’s come to rambling on Stumbling around drunk down on the farm [Chorus 2] Dmaj7 A7sus4 Dmaj7 A7sus4 And the walking man walks he doesn’t know nothing at all Well any other man stops and talks Dmaj7 A7sus4 But the walking man walks on by Walk on by [Bridge] Most everybody’s got seed to sow N.C. e|---10\7--------------------------------------------------| B|---10\7-----5h7-7p5--------------------------------------| |------------7-------7-4-7--------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| It ain’t always easy for a weed to grow no E Gadd9/A So he don’t hoe the row for no one [Verse 3] Dmaj7 A7sus4 For sure one’s always missing Dmaj7 A7sus4 Bbdim7 And something is never quite right Ah but who would want to listen to you Kissing his existence good night Dmaj7 A7sus4 Dmaj7 A7sus4 Walking man walk on by my door Well any other man stops and talks But not the walking man He’s the walking man born to walk Walk on walking man Well now would he have wings to fly Would he be free golden wings against the sky Walking man walk on by So long walking man so long ************************************ | / Slide up | \ Slide down | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off ************************************
