Intro: GBmCD GBmCD GBmCD GBmCD
GBmC A man came to our house DGBmCD I believe it was yesterday GBmC I would have invited him in DGBmCD But I didn't have a lot to say
BEm His anticipation of me opening the door BEm Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before BEm And drove my concentration right through that hardwood floor
CD Oo-oo A-ha
GBmCD I'm taking a walk GBmCD I'm going outside GBmCD I'm taking a walk GBmCD I'm just getting by
GBmC There's a girl in the white house DGBmCD I don't even know her name GBmC Her disheveled appearance DGBmCD Speaks volumes of shame
BEm It's an embarrassing situation but a situation just the same BEm The way she walks on others and never takes the blame BEm Upsets my constitution beyond its mortal frame
CD Oo-oo A-ha
GBmCD I'm taking a walk GBmCD I'm going outside GBmCD I'm watching the birds GBmCD I'm just getting by
Break: GBmCD GBmCD GBmCD GBmCD BEm BEm BEm CD
GBmC Found a card in the pocket DGBmCD Of my worn out overalls GBmC From a girl in Cedar Rapids DGBmCD Now residing in Idaho Falls
BEm I wish you could have been there when she opened up the door BEm And looked me in the face like she never did before BEm I felt about as welcome as a Wal-Mart Superstore
CD 0o-oo - a-ha
GBmCD I'm taking a walk GBmCD I'm going outside GBmCD I'm taking a walk GBmCD I don't need a ride GBmCD I'm watching the birds GBmCD Flying so high
