G5                 B5     C5   
A man came to our house 
    D5                  G5    B5   C5  D5 
I believe it was yesterday 
             G5           B5  C5   
I would have invited him in 
      D5                    G5    B5  C5  D5 
But I didn't have a lot to say 


    B5                  E5  
His anticipation, of me opening the door 
   B5                             E5   
Outweighed my apprehension, as it never had before 
    B5                            E5 
And drove my concentration, right through that hardwood floor 
  C5        D5  D5  E5  D5    D5  D5  E5  D5 
Ooo-ooh  a-ha 


             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm taking a walk 
             G5    B5   C5   D5 
I'm going outside 
             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm taking a walk 
                 G5    B5   C5   D5   D5   D5  D5  
I'm just getting by 


G5                     B5           C5 
There's a girl in the white house 
  D5                   G5     B5  C5  D5 
I don't even know her name 
               G5           B5  C5 
Her disheveled appearance 
D5                 G5       B5   C5  D5    
Speaks volumes of shame 


    B5                                     E5  
It's an embarrassing situation, but a situation just the same 
    B5                           E5  
The way she walks on others, and never takes the blame 
  B5                      E5 
Upsets my constitution, beyond its moral frame 
  C5        D5  D5  E5  D5    D5  D5  E5  D5 
Ooo-ooh  a-ha 


             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm taking a walk 
             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm going outside 
                 G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm watching the birds 
                 G5     B5   C5   D5   D5   D5  D5  
I'm just getting by 


G5                   B5           C5 
Found a card in the pocket 
      D5            G5     B5  C5  D5 
Of my worn out overalls 
                     G5           B5  C5 
From a girl in Cedar Rapids 
D5                     G5       B5   C5  D5    
Now residing in Idaho Falls 


    B5                                     E5  
I wish you could have been there, when she opened up the door 
    B5                              E5  
And looked me in the face, like she never did before 
  B5                          E5  
I felt about as welcome, as a Wal-Mart Superstore 
  C5        D5  D5  E5  D5    D5  D5  E5  D5 
Ooo-ooh  a-ha 


             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm taking a walk 
          G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm going outside 
             G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm taking a walk 
               G5     B5   C5   D5 
I don't need a ride 


                 G5     B5   C5   D5 
I'm watching the birds 
          G5     B5   C5   D5 
Flying so high 
                 G5     B5   C5   D5 
I?m just getting by 
                 G5     B5   C5   D5
