      A/E  E  D  A/E

A/E
Don’t go down Highland Street
E
all that much anymore
D                                   A/E
but I had to get my glasses fixed
A/E
Right there in front
E
of the old coffee shop was Walter
D                                   A/E
just sitting where he’d always sit

D                             A/E
& he was staring in the window
D              A/E
& maybe at you
D                              A/E
or maybe at whomever’s walking him
                      E
to fetch your muffins & your Sunday papers
the way we used to

A/E
I don’t drink coffee
E
all that much anymore
D             A/E           F#m D E A/E
When I do I fix it at home
A/E
Don’t do the crosswords Sundays
E
I can feel dumb other ways
D                             A/E
I could never finish them alone

D                                   A/E
Sundays I ride down to the dog park
D                        A/E
on the other side of town
D                       A/E
just to sit down in the shade
        E
& watch those puppies running round


A/E                         E
I don’t miss feeling bad & dreading every call
D                              A/E   F#m D E A/E
The constant screaming dialogue
A/E
I swear that there were some days
E
it felt like I was only
D                         A/E
coming around for your dog

D                         A/E
All those sunny days with Walter
D                            A/E
chasing squirrels around the park
D
& the way he’d flip
A/E
when he would see me coming
                         E
like the way he did this morning

with his big old Walter bark

D    A/E
     Bark bark
D    A/E        F#m  D  E  A/E
     Bark bark
D    A/E
     Bark bark, hey there Walter
