    Walk On

A5                      D5            A5      
Could not get to sleep it was on my wedding night
  F#5               E5               D5            E5
I was tangled in the sheets and I was dreaming of a light
D5            E5      A5                  D5                  
Pouring from her window  coming up through the floor
D5                                    E5
Lifting up the darkness  crashing through my kitchen door
A5                     D5            A5
Down to that old oak table I went to take a look
      F#5                 E5               D5            E5
And my whole life passed before me just like a story book
   D5                  E5              A5               D5
She used to make me breakfast sit around and talk
D5                                  E5
Have anothe cup of coffee maybe take a little walk
     F#5         E5          A5    D5
Like Dust down a country road
D5                              E5
Blowing in the wind behind an old truck load
F#5               E5    A5  D5
up before the roster crowed
D5                        E5                  A5
There's an old dog staring at the dust down a county road
A5                      D5            A5      
That truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure
F#5               E5               D5            E5
And tomorrow's just a day after all that's gone before
D5                  E5              A5                    D5
I always thought of leaving  I never could stay too long
D5                                              E5
Now her memory's catching up and her sweet dreams are all gone

(CHORUS)

A5                 D5            A5      
If I had a bullet I'd put in this gun
F#5                    E5         D5            E5
And I'd catch that old dog naping and shoot him fore he'd run
D5                        E5            A5             D5                  
Cause he ain't much good for nothing cept starring at the dust
D5                                    E5
Lord I wonder what he's looking at sneaking up on us
