Take A Walk

Chords

Standard

This is my easier version so the chords are different, but it still works and you can sing it in the same key as the original song.

Am
All these kinds of places
        F
Make it seem like it's been ages
C                                          G
Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky
Am
I love this country dearly
      F
I can feel the ladder clearly
      C                             G
But I never thought I'd be alone to try

Am...
Once I was outside Penn station
Selling red and white carnations
We were still alone,
My wife and I
Before we marry, save my money
Brought my dear wife over
Now I work to bring my family state side

F                     C
Got off the boat they stayed a while
     G
Then scattered cross the coast
F                C              G
Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
         Am
I took a walk

       F            C            G    Am
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
       F        C    G
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
         Am
I took a walk
       F            C            G    Am  
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Am
Practice isn't perfect
        F
But the market cuts a loss
  C                                     G
I remind myself that times could be much worse
   Am                         
My wife won't ask me questions
        F
There's not so much to ask
           C                            G
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse

Am...
Once my mother-in-law came
Just to stay a couple nights
Then decided she will stay the rest of her life
I watch my little children, play some board game in the kitchen
As I sit and pray they never feel my strife.

F                   C                 G
But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
F                C
He made some bad investments
        G
Now the accounts are overdrawn
 
         Am
I took a walk
       F            C            G
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
       F        C    G
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
         Am
I took a walk
       F            C            G    Am  
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Em              Bm            F                 Am
Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
       Em           Bm
We had taxes we had bills
         F            C
We had a lifestyle to front
F                        C
And tonight I swear I'll come home
          G                    
And we'll make love like we're young
F                    C
Tomorrow you'll cook dinner
        G
For the neighbors and their kids
       F               C
We can rip apart those socialists
    G
And all that damn taxes
F               C
You see I am no criminal
    G
I'm down on both bad knees
    F               C
I'm just too much a coward
   G
To admit when I'm in need

         Am...
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
