G5
Looking back
D5
He sees it all
E5 D5 C5
It was her first date the night he came to call
G5
Her dad said son
D5
Have her home on time
E5 D5 C5
And promise me you'll never leave her side
A5 G5 D5 A5
He took her to a show in town
G5 C5
And he was ten feet off the ground
(Chorus)
G5
He was walking her home
D5
And holding her hand
E5 D5 C5
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
G5
Down that old road
D5
With the stars up above
E5 D5 C5
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
G5
He was walking her home
Interlude: (keep playing that G5 for a measure then) D5 E5 C5 (play for a measure
then let it ring on the first beat into the G on the downbeat or on "room")
Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
(Chorus)
G5 D5 E5 C5 (don't do the ringing thing here just go straight into the A5 )
A5 G5 D5
He walked her through the best days of her life
A5 G5 C5 D5
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
When they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
End on G5
