Introdução:
G Bm C
A man came to our house
D G Bm C D
I believe it was yesterday
G Bm C
I would have invited him in
D G Bm C D
But I didn't have a lot to say
B7 Em7
His anticipation, of me opening the door
B7 Em7
Outweighed my apprehension, as it never had before
B7 Em7
And drove my concentration, right through that hardwood floor
C D D/C Em7 D/A D D/C Em7 D/A
Ooo-ooh a-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D D4 D
I'm just getting by
G Bm C
There's a girl in the white house
D G Bm C D
I don't even know her name
G Bm C
Her disheveled appearance
D G Bm C D
Speaks volumes of shame
B7 Em7
It's an embarrassing situation, but a situation just the same
B7 Em7
The way she walks on others, and never takes the blame
B7 Em7
Upsets my constitution, beyond its moral frame
C D D/C Em7 D/A D D/C Em7 D/A
Ooo-ooh a-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm watching the birds
G Bm C D D4 D
I'm just getting by
G Bm C
Found a card in the pocket
D G Bm C D
Of my worn out overalls
G Bm C
From a girl in Cedar Rapids
D G Bm C D
Now residing in Idaho Falls
B7 Em7
I wish you could have been there, when she opened up the door
B7 Em7
And looked me in the face, like she never did before
B7 Em7
I felt about as welcome, as a Wal-Mart Superstore
C D D/C Em7 D/A D D/C Em7 D/A
Ooo-ooh a-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I don't need a ride
G Bm C D
I'm watching the birds
G Bm C D
Flying so high
G Bm C D
I?m just getting by
G Bm C D
I?m just getting by
