Introduction:
A A6 C#m7 F#m
Gee, it's great after bein' out late
A7M F#m F#7
Walkin' my baby back home
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7
Arm in arm over meadow and farm,
Bm7(b5) E7 A Eº E7
Walkin' my baby back home.
A A6 C#m7 F#m
We go along harmonizing a song,
A7M F#m F#7
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Bm7(b5) E7 A A7M
Walkin' my baby back home.

We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
F#m G#7
And snuggles her head on my chest
C#m F#7
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Bm7 E7
Her talcum all over my vest.
A A6 C#m7 F#m
After I kinda straighten my tie,
A7M F#m F#7
She has to borrow my comb
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7
One kiss then I continue again
Bm7(b5) E7 A A7M
Walkin' my baby back home.
Instrumenta: First Verse

She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park

Outside of her door till it's light

I dry her tears all through the night
A A6 C#m7 F#m
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand,
Am7 F#m F#7
Right from her doorway we roam
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7
Eats and then it's a pleasure again,
Bm7(b5) E7 C#m7(b5) F#7
Walkin' my baby, talkin' my baby,

Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe,

Walkin' my baby back home
