Walking Man Chords

(ver. 1)
James Taylor
Intro: Emaj9 Esus4-6  (repeat several times) to E or Eadd9


Moving in [E7]silent despera[A]tion [B]
Keeping an eye on the[Esus4-6] Holy Land [E]
A hypo[E7]thetical destina[A]tion [B]
Say, who is this [Esus4-6]waliking[E] man? [Esus4-6] [Gadd9/A]

Well, the [Dmaj7]leaves have come to turn[Asus4]ing 
And the [Dmaj7]goose has gone to fly [A7sus4] [Bb sus]
And [Bm7]bridges are for[E9] buning 
So [Bm7]don't you let that [E9]yearning pass you by [A13] 

Walking [Dmaj7]man [A7sus4], walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4] [Bm7] 
Well, any other man[E9] stops and talks [A13]
But the walking man [Dmaj7]walks [A7sus4]

Well the frost is on the pumpkin 
And the hay is in the barn 
An Pappy's come to rambling on 
Stumbling around drunk 
Down on the farm 

And the walking man walks 
Doesn't know nothing at all 
Any other man stops and talks 
But the walking man[Dmaj7]walks on by[A7sus4] [Dmaj7] 
Walk on by [Bm7] [A] 

[Gmaj7]
Most [F#m7]every[Em7]body's got [A7sus4]seed to [Dmaj7]sow 
[Gmaj7]
It ain't always [F#7add5]easy for a weed to [B9]grow, [F#7#5]no [B9]
So [Eadd9]he don't hoe the row[Gadd9/A] for no one 

Oh for sure he's always missing 
And something is never quite right 
Ah, but who would want to listen to you 
Kissing his existence good night 

Walking man walk on by my door 
Well, any other man stops and talks 
But [F#7]not the [Bm7]walking man..... 

[E9] [A7sus4] [F#7] [Bm7] [E9]...(ad lib)...etc..

(ad lib during fade, etc)

He's the walking man 
Born to walk 
Walk on walking man 
Well now, would he have wings to fly 
Would he be free 
Golden wings against the sky 
Walking man, walk on by 
So long, walking man, so long....
