Intro: Emaj9 Esus4-6 (repeat several times) to E or Eadd9
Moving in [E7]silent despera[A]tion [B]
Keeping an eye on the[Esus4-6] Holy Land [E]
A hypo[E7]thetical destina[A]tion [B]
Say, who is this [Esus4-6]waliking[E] man? [Esus4-6] [Gadd9/A]
Well, the [Dmaj7]leaves have come to turn[Asus4]ing
And the [Dmaj7]goose has gone to fly [A7sus4] [Bb sus]
And [Bm7]bridges are for[E9] buning
So [Bm7]don't you let that [E9]yearning pass you by [A13]
Walking [Dmaj7]man [A7sus4], walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4] [Bm7]
Well, any other man[E9] stops and talks [A13]
But the walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4]
Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn
An Pappy's come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk
Down on the farm
And the walking man walks
Doesn't know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man[Dmaj7]walks on by[A7sus4] [Dmaj7]
Walk on by [Bm7] [A]
[Gmaj7]
Most [F#m7]every[Em7]body's got [A7sus4]seed to [Dmaj7]sow
[Gmaj7]
It ain't always [F#7add5]easy for a weed to [B9]grow, [F#7#5]no [B9]
So [Eadd9]he don't hoe the row[Gadd9/A] for no one
Oh for sure he's always missing
And something is never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Kissing his existence good night
Walking man walk on by my door
Well, any other man stops and talks
But [F#7]not the [Bm7]walking man.....
[E9] [A7sus4] [F#7] [Bm7] [E9]...(ad lib)...etc..
(ad lib during fade, etc)
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....
