Walking Her Home

Ten more years and a waiting [G]room
At half past [D]one
And the [Em]doctor said come in and meet your[Cadd9] son
His knees went we[G]ak
When he saw his w[D]ife
She was smi[Em]ling as she sa[D]id he's got your [Cadd9]eyes
[Am]And as she slept he held her tig[D]ht
[Am]His mind went back to that first [Cadd9]night

(Chorus)
He was walking her ho[G]me
And holding her ha[D]nd
Oh the way she s[Em]miled it stole the b[D]reath right out of [Cadd9]him
Down that old r[G]oad
With the stars up ab[D]ove
He remembers w[Em]here he was the [D]night he fell in [Cadd9]love
He[Em] was walking her home   [D]                    [Cadd9]

(Bridge)
[Em]He walked her through the [D]best days of her [Cadd9]life
[Em]Sixty years together and he [D]never left her [Cadd9]side

(Verse 3)
A nursing [G]home
At eighty-[D]five
And the d[Em]octor said it co[D]uld be her last [Cadd9]night
And the nurse said [G]Oh
Should we tell him [D]now
Or should he w[Em]ait until the mo[D]rning to find[Cadd9] out
[Am]But when they checked her room that ni[D]ght
[Am]He was laying by her[Cadd9] side

(Chorus)
He was walking her h[G]ome
And holding her ha[D]nd
Oh the way she s[Em]miled it stole the b[D]reath right out of [Cadd9]him
Down that old r[G]oad
With the stars up ab[D]ove
He remembers w[Em]here he was the [D]night he fell in [Cadd9]love
He[Em] was walking h[D]er [Cadd9]home

L[Ending]ooking back    [G]
He sees it[D] all
It was [Em]her first date the n[D]ight he came to c[Cadd9]all
