G Bm C
A man came to our house
D G Bm C D
I believe it was yesterday
G Bm C
I would have invited him in
D G Bm C D
But I didn't have a lot to say
B Em
His anticipation of me opening the door
B Em
Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before
B Em
And drove my concentration right through that hardwood floor
C D
Oo-oo A-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm just getting by
G Bm C
There's a girl in the white house
D G Bm C D
I don't even know her name
G Bm C
Her disheveled appearance
D G Bm C D
Speaks volumes of shame
B Em
It's an embarrassing situation but a situation just the same
B Em
The way she walks on others and never takes the blame
B Em
Upsets my constitution beyond its mortal frame
C D
Oo-oo A-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm watching the birds
G Bm C D
I'm just getting by

Of my worn out overalls

D G Bm C D
Now residing in Idaho Falls
B Em
I wish you could have been there when she opened up the door
B Em
And looked me in the face like she never did before
B Em
I felt about as welcome as a Wal-Mart Superstore
C D
0o-oo - a-ha
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I'm going outside
G Bm C D
I'm taking a walk
G Bm C D
I don't need a ride
G Bm C D
I'm watching the birds
G Bm C D
Flying so high
