     (Remember) Walking in the Sand
     George Morton

     One of the best singles of the sixties, no, one of the best *ever*,
     and I never really knew what it was about until I wrote it out just
     now. Poor Mary.

     Intro (1x)

                   [Dm]
     |--------------5------|
     |--------------6------|
     |--------------7------|
     |--------------7------|
     |----8---7-----5------|
     |--------------5------|

     Dm (xx0231@1)    Seems like the other day,
     Bb (x1333x@1)    My baby went away,
     Gm (355333@1)                       A7 (x02020@1)[Eb/A7  A7 (x02020@1)Dm]
     He went away __ `cross the sea,
     Dm (xx0231@1)    It's been two years or so,
     Bb (x1333x@1)    Since I saw my baby go,
     Gm (355333@1)                              A7 (x02020@1)[Eb/A7  A7 (x02020@1)Dm]
     And then this letter ___ came for me,
     Dm (xx0231@1)    It said that we were through,
     Bb (x1333x@1)    He found somebody new,
     Gm (355333@1)                                     A7 (x02020@1)[Eb/A7  A7 (x02020@1)Dm]
     Oh, lemme think, lemme think, what can I do?

     Bridge:

     Dm (xx0231@1)    Oh no
     Dm (xx0231@1)    Oh no,
     Bb (x1333x@1)               A7 (x02020@1)    Oh no, no, no, no, no,

     [Bass repeats solo until A7 chord comes in]

     |--------------------------------------|
     |--------------------------------------|
     |----5---------------3--5--------------|
     |---5----------------------------------|

     [Spoken over bass and seagulls]:

     (Remember) Walkin' in the Sand
     (Remember) Walkin' hand in hand
     (Remember) The night was so exciting,
     (Remember) Smile was so inviting,
     (Remember) Then he touched my cheek,
     (Remember) With his fingertips,

                           A7 (x02020@1)    Soflty, softly we'd meet with our lips,
     Dm (xx0231@1)    Whatever happened to,
     Bb (x1333x@1)    The boy that I once knew?
     Gm (355333@1)                           A7 (x02020@1)[Eb/A7  A7 (x02020@1)Dm]
     The boy who said ___ he'd be true?
     Dm (xx0231@1)    Oh what will happen to,
     Bb (x1333x@1)    The life I gave to you,
     Gm (355333@1)                        A7 (x02020@1)[Eb/A7  A7 (x02020@1)Dm]
     What will I do ___ with it now?

     Repeat bridge and slowly walk into the sea...

     Notes:

     Chord voicings for the  [Eb/A7  A7  Dm] part:

         Eb/A7    A7 (x02020@1)   Dm (xx0231@1)    |-----5------5------5----|
     |-----5------5------6----|
     |-----6------6------7----|
     |-----5------5------7----|
     |-----8------7------5----|
     |-----5------5------5----|

     Actually, I don't know what "Eb/A7" is, but I had to call it
     something.

     The Aerosmith version is OK, I guess, but this is one of those songs
     that really doesn't work in the male voice. Maybe Liv Tyler should do
     a cover of it with the Wonders.
