VERSE 1
Em
As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
Em Em7 Em6
The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
Am7
I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
Em Em7 Em6
Someone hit me from behind
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Through this weary world of woe
Em Em7 Em6
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Bsus4 Dsus4 Em
No one on earth would ever know

So pray from the mother

There'll be no mercy for you once you've lost

Now I'm all worn out by weepin'

I'll just slaughter them where they lie

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em Em7 Em6
Through the world mysterious and vague

Walking through the cities of the plague

Well, the whole world is filled with speculation
Em
The whole wide world which people say is round

They will tear your mind away from contemplation
Em
They will jump on your misfortune when you're down
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Eatin' hog-eyed grease in a hog-eyed town

Someday you'll be glad to have me around

They will crush you with wealth and power
Em
Every waking moment you could crack

I'll make the most of one last extra hour

I'll avenge my father's death then I'll step back

Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Hand me down my walkin' cane

Got to get you out of my miserable brain

VERSE 6
Em
All my loyal and my much-loved companions
Em
They approve of me and share my code
Am7
I practice a faith that's been long abandoned
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em
My mule is sick, my horse is blind
Em
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Bsus4 Dsus4 Em
Thinkin' 'bout that gal I left behind
VERSE 7
Em
Well, it's bright in the heavens and the wheels are flyin'
Em Em7 Em6
Fame and honor never seem to fade
Am7
The fire gone out but the light is never dyin'
Em
Who says I can't get heavenly aid?
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Carryin' a dead man's shield
Em
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Bsus4 Dsus4 Em
Walkin' with a toothache in my heel
VERSE 8
Em
The sufferin' is unending
Em
Every nook and cranny has its tears
Am7
I'm not playing, I'm not pretending
Em
I'm not nursin' any superfluous fears
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Walkin' ever since the other night
Em
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Bsus4 Dsus4 Em
Walkin' 'til I'm clean out of sight

VERSE 9
Em
As I walked out in the mystic garden
Em
On a hot summer day, a hot summer lawn
Am7
Excuse me, ma'am, I beg your pardon
Em Em7 Em6
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Em Em7 Em6
Ain't talkin', just walkin'
Em Am7 Em
Up the road, around the bend
Em
Heart burnin', still yearnin'
Bsus4 Dsus4 Em
In the last outback at the world's end
