Key: A
Introduction:
A A6 C#m7 F#m A7M F#m F#7
Gee, it's great after bein' out late walkin' my baby back home
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 A Eº E7
Arm in arm over meadow and farm, walkin' my baby back home
A A6 C#m7 F#m A7M F#m F#7
We go along harmonizing a song, or I'm recitin' a poem
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 A A7M
Owls go by and they give me the eye walkin' my baby back home
C#m F#7 F#m G#7
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile and snuggles her head on my chest
C#m F#7 Bm7 E7
We start in to pet and that's when I get her talcum all over my vest
A A6 C#m7 F#m A7M F#m F#7
After I kinda straighten my tie, she has to borrow my comb
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 A A7M
One kiss then I continue again walkin' my baby back home
C#m F#7 F#m G#7
She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park outside of her door till it's light
C#m F#7 B7 E7
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry I dry her tears all through the night
A A6 C#m7 F#m A7M F#m F#7
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand, right from her doorway we roam
Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 Bm7(b5) E7 C#m7(b5) F#7
Eats and then it's a pleasure again, walkin' my baby, talkin' my baby
Bm7(b5) E7 C#m7(b5) F#7 Bm7(b5) E7 D9 A
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe, walkin' my baby back home
