Banjo Tuned E Key of D Capo 1
D A D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
G
I've got no place to go –
D
All the trains are running slow
D A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
D A D
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
D A D
It's getting late and all the bars are closed
G
I'm so cold I can't think –
D
I could really use a drink
D A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
A D
Don't all these little winter towns all look the same
G
How the freezing winds they blow
D
When the mission doors are closed
D A D
Now I'm walking through your town in the snow
D A D
I carry my home on my back
D A D
I carry my home on my back
G
But the police only frown
D
Every time I lay it down
A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
A D
There's some fellows jungled up by the yard
G
They're cooking up down there
D
And I've nothing left to share
A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
Maybe I can rustle up a job
A D
Maybe I can rustle up a job
G
But there's nothing I can do
D
My best working days are through
A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
A D
Don't ever think I'll find my way back home
G
I can see my golden years
D
Shining through these golden tears
D A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
A D
I'm walking through your town in the snow
G
I've got no place to go –
D
All the trains are running slow
A D
And I'm walking through your town in the snow
