[INTRO]
Am
I've an agreeable baby likes everything that I do
Dm Em
Dances most every night - movies are her delight
D7 G
I sort of go for them too but when

movies and dances are done - that's when we have real fun
[VERSE 1]
C C6 Cmaj7 C6
Gee but it's great after being out late
Cmaj7 C6 Bb7 A7
Walking my baby back home
Dm A7 Dm G7
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Dm G7 C G7
Walking my baby back home
[VERSE 2]
C C6 Cmaj7 C6
We go along harmonizing a song
Cmaj7 C6 Bb7 A7
or I'm reciting a poem
Dm A7 Dm G7
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Dm G7 C B7
Walking my baby back home
[CHORUS 1]
Em7 A7
We stop for awhile - she gives me a smile
Am7 B7
and snuggles her head to my chest.
Em7 A7
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Am7 Dm7 G7
her powder all over my vest.
[VERSE 3]
C C6 Cmaj7 C6
After I kind of straighten my tie
Cmaj7 C6 Bb7 A7
she wants to borrow my comb.
Dm A7 Dm G7
One kiss then I continue again
Dm G7 C B7
Walking my baby back home.
[CHORUS 2]
Em7 A7
She's afraid of the dark so I have to park
Am7 B7
Outside of her door 'til it's light.
Em7 A7
She says if I try to kiss her, she'll cry
Am7 Dm7 G7
I dry her tears all through the night.
[VERSE 4]
C C6 Cmaj7 C6
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Cmaj7 C6 Bb7 A7
right from her doorway we roam.
Dm A7 Dm G7
Eat and then, it's a pleasure again
Dm G7 Em A7
Walking my baby, talkin' my baby
Dm G7 Em A7
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
Dm G7 C
Walkin' - - - my baby - - - - back home.
