The Turtles – The Walking Song (Guitar)

D            F             C              G
Bacon fried, squinty-eyed, moments of the dawn

D            F                C           G
Misty street calling me, "Get dressed and walk around"

E              F              G
In the square, standing there girl so sad

A
"What's the matter"? She said

D       A             G                D
"Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down

    D            A              G                  D
And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found

  D        A                G              D
I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay

   D        A             G             D
To keep me alive so I can waste another day"

D       C#m        Bm     A
I sadly turned and walked away

D             C#m     Bm      A    G
For there was nothing I could say

D           F            C             G
Walking on, noonday sun, dusty road to town

D               F               C                G
Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon

E                F
Then, I'd seen a limousine

  G             A
A rich old guy, mean of eye. He said

D        A       G              D
"Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand

D                    A              G              D
The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can

  D          A          G                   D
Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time

   D              A              G                D
By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime"

D         C#m      Bm              A
The words he spoke turned my world grey

D     C#m       Bm        A
Could everybody feel this way?

D        C#m    Bm       A
As if in answer down the road

D        C#m         Bm         A
A lovely girl picked flowers of gold

Bb                          C             F
She smiled sweetly and gave one to me and said

F        C         Bb            F
"Please, kind sir, don't look so down

    F       C          Bb          F
For in this hard world love still abounds

    F       C               Bb         F
And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie

   F      C             Bb         F   A
On clover beds 'neath a blanket of sky"

D      A             G                D
Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down (Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand)

    D            A              G                  D
And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found(The worldis one big bank you must steal what you can)

  D        A                G              D
I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay (Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time)

   D        A             G             D
To keep me alive so I can waste another day (By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime)

D
"How are you? How are you? How are you"?

D
"Hi, how are you'?
