E                                                      A      B                                                                    E  
He sang a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me
E            A                    E                      B                              E  
I was born and raised in my father's house
A                              E                            B  
Can catching rain in the kitchen
                          A                                      E                      B                      E  
He said a good song never comes to those who chase
        A                    E                      B  
It comes to those who listen
And I'd listen to him
A              E                      B                                 E  
Waking up in the middle of the night
A                      E                                         B  
I know he thought we were sleeping
                                A      E                              B                      E  
And with an old melody and a guitar in hand
                A                            E                              B  
Somewhere between dreaming and weeping
                                                                  A    B                                                                    E  
He'd sing a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me
     A                 E                            B                    E  
I grew up quick in my father's house
A                    E                            B  
Mama she gave him no daughters
                  F#m                      E                    B                    E  
Just a look in the eye of a woman in need
                A                      E                         B  
To be free of a love grown harder
                  F#m            E                      B              E  
So she hit the road in a Galaxy Ford
A                                      E                      B  
The one that my daddy had bought her
                        F#m                    E                         B                              C#m  
And she crossed the tracks and never looked back
                     A                      E                            B  
She was hummin' a song he had taught her
                                                             A      B                                                                    E  
She sang a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me
SOLO
B                                              A            E                              B                    E  
There was this big black trunk in my father's house
                        A                              E                              B  
Where he kept all the ledgers he'd write in
                F#m                    E    B                                    E  
So    I broke into it before I moved out
A                                            E                                 B  
To see if I could find out more about him
                             F#m            E                                    B                         E  
There were letters written, never sent to my mom
A                                         E            B  
It's a wonder it never killed him
                                        F#m                    C#m                    B      E  
And there were lines, and songs, and poetry
A                              E                                 B  
Damn near as good as Hank Williams
                                                  A         B                                                                 E  
Sing a walk on the wildside lasts a lifetime with me
