"Walk Through the World" by Marc Cohn, John Leventhal

Funk rock shuffle beat (Tempo = 88) F  C  G  Am7

F                       C              G   Am7
I'm writing you this letter from some old hotel
F                 C       G     Am7
I can feel the distance between us
F                  C             G     Am7
From the Spanish Steps to the Liberty Bell
F            C           G  Am7               F  C  G  Am7 (2X)
I know the angels have seen us... seen us, baby

F              C               G     Am7
They see you down on Seventh Avenue,
F                    C           G    Am7
While you're just hanging by a thread
F              C                    G       Am7
And I'm sitting in a lonely room without a view,
F               C             G   Am7
Wishing I was there with you instead

(CHORUS 1)
            F                 C           G  Am7
Won't you walk through this world with me
F                   C     G   Am7
Walk through this world.
F                    C      G    Am7
Over the miles of mystery,
Dm7                Am7           F6 C  F6 C
Walk through this world with me.

 F                C                   G      Am7
I'm staring out across the rooftops, baby.
 F               C            G     Am7
I've seen the writing on the wall.
  F                      C      G               Am7
Heard a little bit of thunder, at the seventh wonder,
    F               C                 G          Am7
but everything is bound to rise and fall, that's all

(CHORUS 2)
 F                  C           G   Am7
Walk through this world with me
  F                C    G    Am7
Walk through the world.
 F          C                 G    Am7
Over the mountains and the shining sea,
Dm7                Am7       F6 C         F6 C                 F6 C
Walk through this world with me... Walk on... Walk on, Walk on... Yeah...

Let me get this ringing out of my ears,
 F                 C              G   Am7
Let me get these stars out of my eyes.
 F                      C             G       Am7
'Cause I just want to look back over all the years
       F                C            G       Am7
with you right there standing by my side.   Could you just...

Walk through the world.
 F          C                 G    Am7

Dm7                Am7       F6 C         F6 C                 F6 C
Walk through this world with me... Walk on... Walk on, Walk on... Yeah...

=============================================================================
An interesting way to end the song is with the F//C//F//C// I've used that ended 
many times and I've also used that as a segue into other songs as well.  As a jam 
into some Grateful Dead tunes it works quite well.  Have fun with it!!
