Capo on 1st fret

[Verse 1]
Em           C            D                Em
Shut off the t.v and peel off those Sunday gloves
    Am             Em                    D
And I'll stain the clean that you'v been counting
Em     C               D         G
Old Mr.Fletcher passed by here today
      Am          Em           D                    Em
After 40 years of toil he just stopped and walked away
  Em           C          D             Em
Fantastic, the panic that showed in his eyes
   Am              Em        D
He shrugged when I asked him about it
   Em                    C                D                G
He said, "Young man, pay heed, you listen well to what I say
    Am            Em         D            Em
Now there comes a time for a man to walk away
 
[Chorus]
     D                 B5
Walk away, I'll be a parade
    C         B5                           Em           C
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade On my way,
     D              G         C            B5                       Em
I'll sure take some time, And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind
 
[Verse 2]
   Em        C                D                  Em
He passed by again and he was shivering from the cold
        Am         Em                D
I'm not sure but I think that he was trying
   Em                C           D                G
He told me about the weather and something old to pay
     Am            Em               D           Em
"But tomorrow," he said, "I'm gonna surely walk away."
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                 B5
Walk away, I'll be a parade
    C         B5                           Em           C
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade On my way,
 D             G         C            B5                       Em
I'll take my sweet time, And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind
 
[Bridge]
Em B5 Em C D G Am Em D Em Am D G Am Em D
 
[Chorus]
     Em         D                Em
Walk away, walk away I'll be a parade
    C          B5                          Em           C
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade on my way
     D             G         C            B5                       Em
I'll take my sweet time, And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind
