Walking Her Home Tab

by Mark Schultz


Verse One:
 
                         
Looking back, He sees it all
                                          
It was her first date the night he came to call
                                   
Her dad said son, have her home on time
                              
And promise me you'll never leave her side...
                       
He took her to a show in town
                         
And he was ten feet off the ground

Chorus:
                    
He was walking her home
                   
And holding her hand
                                                       
All the way she smiled and stole the breath right out of him
                
Down That old road
                   
With the stars up above
              
He remembered where he was
                     
The night he fell in love
                              – LET RING    
He was walking her home   

Verse 2:
                                 
Ten more years in the waiting room
               
At half past one 
                                      
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
                 
His knees went weak
                
When he saw his wife
                                         
She was smiling when she said he’s got your eyes 
                                        
And as she slept he held her tight
                                          
His mind went back to that first night

Chorus:
                    
He was walking her home
                   
And holding her hand
                                                       
All the way she smiled and stole the breath right out of him
                
Down That old road
                   
With the stars up above
              
He remembered where he was
                     
The night he fell in love
                                  
He was walking her home   



Bridge:
                                                
He walked her through the best years of her life
                              
Sixty years together and he never left her side

Verse 3:
                          
A nursing home, at eighty-five
                                       
And the doctor said it could be her last night
                                           
And the nurse said Oh, Should we tell him now
                                       
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
                                 
But when they checked her room that night
                
He was laying by her side

Chorus:
                    
He was walking her home
                 
And holding her hand
                                                    
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
                  
And just for a while
              
They were eighteen
                   
She was still more beautiful
              
To him than anything
   
[For next part just play B-C#5-D#5-B  four times - let last B ring]
               
He was walking her home
                   
He was walking her home


                         
Looking back, He sees it all
                                       (ring)
It was her first date the night he came to call
