          E
I was walking

        E7
With my feet

       A
A disposition

         Am
Fell over me

        E
And the armory wall was bleeding

B7
  The restless child was reading

E A E B7

      E
I was swimming

             E7
Could hardly stand

             A           Am
The swimming hour was at hand

        E
And the fishes they were feeding

B7
   The lambs they were bleating

E A E B7

A
Ooh - I walk slowly

E
Ooh - I walk slowly

B7
  I walk slowly

A        Am             E A E B7
  When I walk away from you

Whistling Solo – |E |E7 |A |Am |E |B7 |A Am |E |B7 | (Single Strum):

            E
I'm feeling bad

            E
I'm looking bad

  A                Am
I feel and look so bad

           E
Some might say                  (Regular Strumming)

      B7                    A Am E B7
Yours truly is soaking his head

             E
There's apprehension

        E7
And inhibition

          A
All contributions

       Am
To my, to my attrition

                E
And it happened long ago

      B7
These things, these things

     A                    Am
That make me walk so darn slow

End on E
