[Intro]
C Am Cmaj7 Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Gee ain't it great after staying out late
C Am Bb7 A7
Walking my baby back home
Dm A7 Dm G7
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Dm G7 C G
Walking my baby back home
[Verse 2]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
We stroll along harmonizing a song
C Am Bb7 A7
Or she?s reciting a poem
Dm A7 Dm G7
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Dm G7 C B7
Walking my baby back home
[Chorus 1]
Em7 A7
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
Am7 B7
And snuggles her head to my chest
Em7 A7
We start to pet and that's when I get
Am7 D7 G7
Her powder all over my vest
[Verse 3]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
After a while I sort of straighten my tie
C Am Bb7 A7
She asks to borrow my comb
Dm A7 Dm G7
One kiss then it's a pleasure again
Dm G7 C B7
Walking my baby back home
[Chorus 2]
Em7 A7
She's afraid of the dark, so I have to park
Am7 B7
Outside of her door 'til it's light
Em7 A7
She says if I try, to kiss her she'll cry
Am7 D7 G7
I dry her tears all through the night
[Verse 4]
C Am Cmaj7 Am
Hand in hand, to a barbeque stand
C Am Bb7 A7
Right from her doorway we roam
Dm A7 Dm G7
Eat and then, it's a pleasure again
Dm G7 Em7 A7
Walking my baby, talking my baby
Dm G7 Em7 A7
Lonin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
Dm G7 C Am Cmaj7 Am C Am C (mute) D7sus2/C (X-3-2-2-3-X)(hold)
Walking my baby - back home
