C
If you walk away I’ll walk away
C G C
First tell me which you road you will take
Am G C Am
I don’t wanna risk our paths crossing some day
C G C
So you walk that way I’ll walk this way
C G C
The future hangs over our heads
C G C
And it moves with each current event
Am G
Until it falls all around us
C Am
Like a cold steady rain
C G C
Just stay in when it’s looking this way
C G C
The moon’s laying low in the sky
C G C
Forcing everything meadow to shine
Am G C Am
And the sidewalk hold diamonds like a jewellery store case
C G C
They argue ‘walk this way, no walk this way’
C G C
Laura’s asleep in my bed
C G C
As I’m leaving she wakes up and says
Am G C Am
‘I dreamed you were taken away on the crest of a wave
C G C
Baby don’t go away come here’
C G C
And there’s kids playing guns in the street
C G C
And one’s pointing his tree branch at me
Am G C Am
So I put my hands up, and say ‘enough is enough,
C G C
If you walk away I’ll walk away’ (and then he shot me dead)
C G C
I found a liquid cure
G C
For my land love blues
F G C Am
And we’d pass away, like a slow parade
C G C
It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon
C G C
The world’s got me dizzy again
C G C
You’d think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
Am G C Am
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
C G C
So I’m always pacing around or walking away
C G C
I drinking the ink from my pen
C G C
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
Am G C Am
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase:
C G C
‘If you love something give it away’
C G C
A good woman will pick you apart
C G C
A box full of suggestions for a possible heart
Am G C Am
And you may be offended and you may be afraid
C G C
But don’t walk away don’t walk away
C G C
We made love on the living room floor
C G C
With the noise in the background from the televised war
Am G C Am
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
C G C
If we walk away they’ll walk away
C G C
But greed is a bottomless pit
C G C
And our freedom’s a joke we’re just taking the piss
Am G C Am
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
C G C
If you’re still free start running away
(cos they’ll come for you!)
C G C
I’ve grown tired of holding this pose
C G C
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
Am G C Am
So I’m making a deal with the devil’s of fame
C G C
Saying ‘let me walk away, please’
C G C
‘you’ll be free child once you have died
C G C
from the shackles of language and measurable tide
Am G C Am
And then we can trade places, play musical grace
C G C
Tell me ‘walk away walk away walk away’’
C G C C G C
So I’m up at dawn, putting on my shoes
F G C Am
I just wanna make, a clean escape
C G C
I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
C G C
I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
On the bits inbetween the verses, play an entire verse plucked, but with a G on the high E string being played. Like so:
e--3---3---3---
B--1-------1---
G----------2---
D--2-------2---
A--3---2---0---
