Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home


Verse One: 
        A        E   Esus4  E
Looking back, He sees it all
       F#m                E        D       E
It was her first date the night he came to call
             A             E   Esus4 E
Her dad said son, have her home on time
    F#m               E           D
and promise me you'll never leave her side...
Bm   A                   D
He took her to a show in town
Bm  A          D            E
And he was ten feet off the ground

Chorus:
       Esus4    E   A
He was walking her home
            E
and holding her hand
                F#m
All the way she smiled and stole the breath right out of him
 E   D   Esus4 E 
Down That old road
A                 E
With the stars up above
              F#m
He remembered where he was
    E                D   Dm
the night he fell in love
                   A   D
He was walking her home   

Verse 2:
A                     E  Esus4 E
Ten more years in the waiting room
   F#m
At half past one 
E              D                Esus4 E
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
A   E     Esus4 E
His knees went weak
                F#m
When he saw his wife
        E                                   D
She was smiling when she said he’s got your eyes 
Bm         A             D                
And as she slept he held her tight
Bm            A                  D             
His mind went back to that first night

Chorus



Bridge:
   F#m                    E            Esus4 E    
He walked her through the best years of her life
            F#m              E         Esus4 E
Sixty years together and he  never left her side

Verse 3:
A                  E   Esus4 E
A nursing home, At eighty-five
        F#m            E        D        E
And the doctor said it could be her last night
                   A              E   Esus4 E
And the nurse said Oh , Should we tell him now
             F#m            E               D
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
Bm            A                     D
But when they checked her room that night
Bm     A             D
He was laying by her side

Final Chorus:
E      Esus4 E      A
He was walking her home
            E
and holding her hand
               F#m
Oh the way she smiled when she said this is not the end
    E    D  Esus4 E 
And just for a while
A             E
They were eighteen
                   F#m
She was still more beautiful
   E           D   Dm
To him than anything
                   A   D
He was walking her home
                   A   D
He was walking her home
        A        E   Esus4  E
Looking back, He sees it all
       F#m                E        D       E
It was her first date the night he came to call
