 Capo 2ND (W/out Capo)
 D (E) 
   
 A (B) 
   
 E (F#) 
   
 D                        
 All these kinds of places
   A                             
 Make it seem like it's been ages
     E                                       E   
 And tomorrow's sun and buildings scrape the sky.
 
   D                       
 I love this country dearly
 A                            
 I can feel the latter clearly
 E                                       E 
 But I never thought I'd be alone to try.
 
 D                              
 Once I was outside Penn station
 A                               
 Selling red and white carnations
 E                                  E 
 We were still alone, my wife and I.
 
 D                                
 Before we married, saved my money
 A                         
 Brought my dear wife over.
 E                                   E   
 Now I work to bring my family stateside.
 
 D                       A            
 Got off the boat, they stayed a while
 E                               
 Then scattered 'cross the coast.
 D                         A                  E        
 Once I'll year I'll see them for a week or so at most.
 
 D A E E x2
 I took a walk
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
 Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
 
 D A E E x2
 I took a walk
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)

 Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
 

 
 D                     
 Practice isn't perfect
   A                        
 but the market cuts a loss.
     E                                          E 
 I remind myself that times could be much worse.
 
    D                           
 My wife won't ask me questions-
   A                        
 there's not so much to ask.
      E                              E         
 And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse.
 
 D                       
 What's my mother lacking
   A                         
 Just to stay a couple nights
 E                                          E    
 And decided she would stay the rest of her life.
 
 D                           
 And watch my little children
 A                                 
 Play some boardgame in the kitchen
 E                                         E  
 And I sit and pray they never feel my strife.
 
     D                     A                       E          
 But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
    D                    A                        E          
 He made some bad investments, now the accounts are overdrawn
 
 D A E E x2
 I took a walk.
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
 (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
 Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

 I took a walk

 D                    A            E                    
 Honey, it's your son, I think I borrowed just too much.
        D                           A                    E 
 We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front.
     D                            A                         E            
 And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young.
       D                           A                     E         
 But tomorrow, you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids.
        D                           A                    E 
 We can rip apart the socialists and all their damn taxes.
          D                A                E            
 You'll see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees.
 D                         A               E          
 I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need.
