[Verse 1]
          E            A         B
Moving in silent desperation
                      A         E
Keeping an eye on the Holy Land
      E              A         B
A hypothetical destination
                 A/B     E       A/B      Gadd9/A
Say, who is this walking man?

          Dmaj7                  A7sus4
Well, the leaves have come to turning
        Dmaj7             A7sus4   Bbdim7
And the goose has gone to fly
    Bm7             E9
And bridges are for burning
    Bm7               E9                   A13
So don't you let that yearning pass you by


[Chorus 1]
        Dmaj7 A7sus4    Dmaj7      A7sus4
Walking man,  walking man walks
      Bm7              E9                A13
Well, any other man stops and talks
        Dmaj7       A7sus4       Dmaj7       A7sus4
But the walking man walks


[Verse 2]
           Dmaj7                  A7sus4
Well, the frost is on the pumpkin
        Dmaj7             A7sus4   Bbdim7
And the hay is in the barn
     Bm7             E9
An' Pappy's come to rambling on
Bm7              E9                     A13
Stumbling around drunk down on the farm


[Chorus 2]
                    Dmaj7 A7sus4           Dmaj7      A7sus4
And the walking man walks, he doesn't know nothing at all
Bm7                 E9        A13
Well, any other man stops and talks
                    Dmaj7    A7sus4
But the walking man walks on by
Dmaj7     Bm7  A
Walk on by


[Bridge]
Gmaj7   F#m7 Em7        A7sus4  Dmaj7
   Most everybody's got seed to sow

Gmaj7    F#m7   F#7        Bm7     B9    F#7   B9
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, no
   E                Gadd9/A
So he don't hoe the row for no one


[Verse 3]
Dmaj7                    A7sus4
For sure one's always missing
    Dmaj7                 A7sus4   Bbdim7
And something is never quite right
        Bm7               E9
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Bm7           E9                A13
Kissing his existence good night
        Dmaj7 A7sus4     Dmaj7     A7sus4
Walking man      walk on by my door
      Bm7           E9        A13
Well, any other man stops and talks
    F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
But not the walking man
F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
He's the walking man,           born to walk
F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
Walk on walking man
 F#7     Bm7             E9    A7sus4
Well now, would he have wings to fly
F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
Would he be free, golden wings against the sky
F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
Walking man, walk on by
F#7     Bm7        E9    A7sus4
So long, walking man, so long
