Chords for The Dillards - Ebo Walker

_ I don't want you to think for a minute that Dooley was the only moonshine song we wrote.
Those California people loved it.
They loved the whole idea of all of Missouri being drunk.
[Ab] _ _ Half of them blamed the Civil [Bm] War on us, you know, [E] and we didn't do anything.
_ [N] We didn't even take sides.
We knew whoever won would get the moonshine concession. _ _
_ [E] _ This is a [Dbm] photo of Rodney and I made up one [E] night, while in our couch probably.
This is about an old man back home who would drink anything.
_ _ [N] He was sort of a test that people would do a free moonshine if I asked the department of the last name. _ _ _
Mmm, fine bouquet. _ _ _
Explosive without being impertinent.
_ _ _ Stuff like that.
_ And the thing is he ended up drinking just everything.
Anything.
Little kids, you [Cm] know, in a town like that, people kind of looked up at him.
Well, most of the [Ab] time.
Well, [C] _
[N] _ _ [A] yeah, half the time he learned to wreck an ankle.
[N] _ _ But _ _ anyway, Rodney and I made up [Eb] this song about this old man [A] who would just drink [N] anything.
And what knocked us out about him was that he never drank at the house.
Never drank at home.
He always had little stashes out in the woodpile or the back porch.
And his wife didn't know he drank.
_ _ _ _ She was not the smartest little nut. _ _ _ _ _
But anyway, he's going to walk, got up one morning, [Eb] _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
went to the fridge and threw a paper or something.
Liquid ranch. _
And went up to the fridge.
_ [F] And while he's out there, he got up.
_ And [D] his wife, you know, not [Ab] being too swift, about the second or third day she began to get uneasy about it.
[A] _
_ And she said, we call little kids buffers.
She sent a little pocket buffer out to see what was happening to dad.
Little kid came back in and called [N] it just like it was.
Said he's sitting out there in the prairie, throws a stupid woodpecker's lid.
_ _ Not a pretty picture.
_ And the thing is, he had a cold weather in those arms and he kept real good.
_ _ The day he went to town, he just rode the seat of the ambulance with everybody else. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He wouldn't have told that. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Same memorial cemetery.
He was fine [Ab] through the winter, but when spring came, [Eb] he killed a grass.
[N] _
_ _ _ _ _ He resurrected a pair of drawers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I didn't say toilet paper. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Back in the day, we were [N] like_
Evil Walker [B] wasn't good. _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now Evil Walker was born.
He was raised by the dandy who was like Barney.
Because of him, he made just fine.
That's all it was to be Evil Walker.
Now _ _ [B] _ _ _
Evil Walker left the church.
He called people bad.
He said, hey, _ [A] _ [E]
hey.
So I'm gonna change. _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E]
Walked to the mountain.
He saw what was happening.
He took a hand and he held it.
He gave it to my heart.
He said, [B] I'm gonna tell you [A] a story.
[E] He was a person of love.
[B] _ _ _
Now _ Evil Walker was_
He was the most dandy.
He was very kind.
[A] He was a boy.
[E] He was a boy.
He was a boy.
He was a boy.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gbm] _ [Em] _ [E] _ [B] _ _
_ Evil Walker walked down the stairs.
He said, I'll take you walking.
He drank the guy.
But I heard, no, the wind is down.
[E] He starts riding on the leaves of brown.
The terrible evil was [Gb] fiddling all [B] around. _ _ _ _
The evil [Abm] Walker was a good old [Gb] man.

The _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ end.
