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

B                      Em
His anticipation of me opening the door

B                                Em 
Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before

    B                            Em
And drove my concentration right through that hardwood floor
C D Oo-oo 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'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

B                                    Em
It's an embarrassing situation but a situation just the same

B                               Em
The way she walks on others and never takes the blame

B                        Em
Upsets my constitution beyond its mortal frame
C D Oo-oo 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
I'm just getting by
Break: G Bm C D G Bm C D G Bm C D G Bm C D B Em B Em B Em C D
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

B                                     Em
I wish you could have been there when she opened up the door

B                                  Em
And looked me in the face like she never did before

B                            Em
I felt about as welcome as a Wal-Mart Superstore

C         D
0o-oo - 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
