Song: Walking Her Home
Artist: Mark Schultz
Capo 4
(Verse 1)
G
Looking back
D
He sees it all
C D C
It was her first date the night he came to call
G
Her dad said son
D
Have her home on time
C D C
And promise me you'll never leave her side
Am D
He took her to a show in town
Am G
And he was ten feet off the ground
(Chorus)
G D
He was walking her home
G D
And holding her hand
G D C
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
G D
Down that old road
G D
With the stars up above
G D C
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
G D C
He was walking her home
(Verse 2)
G
Ten more years and a waiting room
D
At half past one
C D C
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
G
His knees went weak
D
When he saw his wife
C D C
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
Am D
And as she slept he held her tight
Am G
His mind went back to that first night
(Chorus)
G D
He was walking her home
G D
And holding her hand
G D C
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
G D
Down that old road
G D
With the stars up above
G D C
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
G D C
He was walking her home
(Bridge)
G D C
He walked her through the best days of her life
G D C
Sixty years together and he never left her side
(Verse 3)
G
A nursing home
D
At eighty-five
C D C
And the doctor said it could be her last night
G
And the nurse said Oh
D
Should we tell him now
C D C
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
Am D
But when they checked her room that night
Am G
He was laying by her side
(Chorus)
G D
Oh he was walking her home
G D
And holding her hand
G D C
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
D
And just for a while
G D
They were eighteen
G D C
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
G D
He was walking her home
G C
He was walking her home
(Ending)
G
Looking back
D
He sees it all
C D C
It was her first date the night he came to call
