WIDOW’S WALK

 

INTRO

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////  

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

 

V1

C/// Cmaj7///

Through the window of our home.

C7/// F///

She’s coming up the cobblestone.

C/// Cmaj7///

Stops herself outside the door.

C7/// F///

To cry alone once more.

 

B1

Am/// D7/// Am/// D7///

And now she’s here - like a dark cloud she appears.

Dm/Em/ G/// ////

A woman made of tears she carries around.

 

V2

C/// Cmaj7///

Now she sulks into the room.

C7/// F///

Dragging in her doom and gloom.

C/// Cmaj7///

Once she had our sympathies.

C7/// F///

But that was long ago.

 

B2

Am/// D7/// Am/// D7///

Oh look, she’s here - erasing any sun.

Dm/Em/ G/// ////

Exhausting everyone who ever cared.

 

CH1

Dm/// G///

And her pride won’t let her talk.

C/// Edim7///

Keeps her heart tight under lock.

Dm/// G - - -

All while she walks her widow’s walk.

 

REINTRO

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

 

BRIDGE

F//C ////

Oh oh - she’s so good at playing.

F//Am ////

Her role as the victim.

F//C ////

She loves all her sadness.

F//Am ////

More than she ever loved him.

 

SOLO

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// F///

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// F///

 

B3

Am/// D7/// Am/// D7///

And so she treads, pacing on the boards outside.

Dm/Em/ G/// ////

As she stares out at the sky and at the sea.

 

CH2

Dm/// G///

And she winds up every clock.

C/// Edim7///

With one eye cast to the dock.

Dm/// G - - -

All while she walks her widow’s walk.

​

REPEAT

Dm/// G///

And her pride won’t let her talk.

C/// Edim7///

Keeps her heart tight under lock.

Dm/// G - - -

All while she walks her widow’s walk.

 

OUTRO

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

C/// Cmaj7/// C7/// ////

C……
