Take A Walk Acoustic

• C#m

Hey guys! This is my first tab. Tell me if it's wrong or anything. If not, enjoy!

*switch to this chord on the second time he sings "take a walk"

C#m                               E
All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages
    B                                       F#
And tomorrow's sun and buildings scrape the sky
  C#m                             E
I love this country dearly, I can feel the ladder clearly
      B                             F#
But I never thought I'd be alone to try
C#m                              E
Once I was outside Penn station, selling red and white carnations
B                                F#
We were still alone, my wife and I
  C#m                              E
Before we married, saved my money, brought my dear wife over
      B                            F#
Now I work to bring my family stateside

    C#m                E                   B                    F#
Got off the boat, they stayed a while then scattered 'cross the coast
C#m              E              B             F#
Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most

         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

C#m                            E
Practice isn't perfect but the market cuts a loss
     B                                   F#
I remind myself that times could be much worse
   C#m                                  E
My wife won't ask me questions; there's not so much to ask
           B                            F#
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse                                
C#m                                E
Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights
      B                                    F#
And decided she would stay the rest of her life
  C#m                                E
I watch my little children play some boardgame in the kitchen
      B                               F#
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife

    C#m             E                 B                  F#
But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
   C#m             E                  B                F#
He made some bad investments, now the accounts are overdrawn

         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

 C#m              E               B                 F#
"Honey, it's your son," I think I borrowed just too much
       C#m           E               B            F#
We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front
    C#m                  E                   B                    F#
And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young 
  C#m                 E              B                   F#
Tomorrow, you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids
       C#m           E              B              F#
We can rip apart the socialists and all their damn taxes
    C#m         E             B                F#
You see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees
    C#m             E         B                 F#
I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need

         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
         B            F#*      C#m                  E
I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

(Repeat chorus 3x; end on B)
