[G] [Bm] [C] [D]
[G] [Bm] [C] [D]
[G] [Bm] [C] [D]
[G]A man came to [Bm]our house[C]
I believe it [D]was yester[G]day[Bm][C][D]
[G]I would have invited him [Bm]in [C]
But I [D]didn't have a lot to [G]say[Bm][C][D]
[B]His anticipation of me [Em]opening the door
[B]Outweighed my apprehension as it [Em]never had before
And [B]drove my concentration right [Em]through that hardwood floor
[C]Oo-oo a-[D]ha
I'm taking a [G]walk[Bm][C][D]
I'm going out[G]side[Bm][C][D]
I'm taking a [G]walk[Bm][C][D]
I'm just getting [G]by[Bm][C][D]
[G]There's a girl in the [Bm]white house[C]
I don't [D]even know her [G]name[Bm][C][D]
[G]Her disheveled [Bm]appearance[C]
[D]Speaks volumes of [G]sham[Bm]e[C][D]
[B]It's an embarrassing situation but a [Em]situation just the same
[B]The way she walks on others and [Em]never takes the blame
[B]Upsets my constitution be[Em]yond its mortal frame
[C]Oo-oo a-[D]ha
I'm taking a [G]walk[Bm][C][D]
I'm going out[G]side[Bm][C][D]
I'm watching the [G]bird[Bm]s[C][D]
I'm just getting [G]by[Bm][C][D]

[B] [Em]
[C] [D]
[G]Found a card in the [Bm]pocket[C]
Of my [D]worn out over[G]alls[Bm][C][D]
[G]From a girl in Cedar [Bm]Rapids[C]
Now [D]residing in Idaho [G]Fall[Bm]s[C][D]
[B]I wish you could have been there when [Em]she opened up the door
[B]And looked me in the face like she [Em]never did before
[B]I felt about as welcome as a [Em]Wal-Mart Superstore
[C]0o-oo - a-[D]ha
I'm taking a [G]walk[Bm][C][D]
I'm going out[G]side[Bm][C][D]
I'm taking a [G]walk[Bm][C][D]
I don't need a [G]ride[Bm][C][D]
I'm watching the [G]bird[Bm]s[C][D]
Flying so [G]high[Bm][C][D]
