Walking Back Home

Deacon Blue


Tom: A

    A
The stars and satellites
                         E
Are quiet over the hills tonight
        E7
And the cats' eyes and white lines
                    A
Are heading out for miles
    A
The frost on the embankment
                     E
Keeps my feet on the road
        E7
But the tunes and beers
                    A
Are walking us back home

II:

    A
And we stopped any travellers
                         E
And wished them good new year
       E7
And we sang and we drunk
                         A
And we quarrelled and we cheered
       A
And we touched the sky above us
                      E
And we felt the earth below
       E7
And we knew how good it was
                  A
Just walking back home

Chorus:

         D
La La La La......
         A
La La La La......
         E
La La La La......
         A
La La La La

III:

  A
I left them at the circle
                    E
As the sun began to rise
       E7
And we walked the last few hundred yards
               A
Back to my own house
  A
I pulled my coat still closer
                     E
'Cause now I'm on my own
     E7
I've struck out for the first time
                         A
And now I'm walking back home

Chorus(x3):

         D
La La La La......
         A
La La La La......
         E
La La La La......
         A
La La La La
