[E] [A]
[E] [B] [E]
[F#m] [E]
Moving in silent
[A] desperation,
[B] keeping an eye on the [E] holy land, a hypothetical [A]
destination,
[B]
say who is this [E] walking man?
[G] [D] Well the leaves have come to turn [G] in and [D] the goose has gone to fly,
[Bm] and bridges are [E] for burning, [Bm] so don't you let that [D] yearning [B] pass you [A]
by.
[G] Walking [D]
man, [G] [D] walking man walks, [Am] [B]
many other [E] men stops and [A] talks,
but the walking [D] man walks.
[A] [D]
[G] [D] Well the frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn, yeah,
[Bm] and happy has [E] come to ramble and all, [Bm]
scumbling around [E] drunk down on the [A]
farm.
And the [D] walking man walks, [G] he [D] doesn't know nothing [A] at all,
[Bm]
many [E] other men stops and talks, [Am] [D] but the walking man walks on [G] by, [D]
walk on [Bm] by.
[F#m] [G]
Most [E] everybody [G] got [D] seed in the soul, [G]
it ain't [D] always [F#] easy for him to [B] leave the grove,
[F#] [B] no, no, [E]
he don't hold the [D] rope for no one, for sure one's [G] always [D] missing and something is never quite right.
[Bm] Ah, but who would want to [E] listen to [Bm] you, kissing his [Em] existence goodnight.
[D] Walking man, [A] [D] walk on by my [A] door, [Bm]
many [E] other men stops [A] and talks,
[D] [F#] but not [D] the walking [E] man,
[G] [F#] he's [D] the walking [E] man,
[A] born to [F#] walk, walk on [D] walking man,
[G]
[F#] well now [A] would he have wings to [D] fly, [A]
yeah.
Hey, [D] [E] whoa, [Bm]
lily [D] trees, [G]
[D] golden wings against [Bm] the sky.
[D] [G] [Bm]
[D] [G]
