[Tab] Walk Awhile With You
This is the official tab for my song “Walk Awhile With You”
It’s track #6 from the album “Keeping the Sunset on my Side”
This song has a lot of key changes! It helps to play a strong root note first when plucking the chords, so the transition isn’t too jarring or surprising.
The chords aren’t anything too fancy, but also not “standard”, so here’s a list:
- Am* = XXX9 10 8
- Bb = X79987
- Bbm = X79977
- Ab* = X64444X
- Gb* = X42222X
- Cdim = X3424X
- Bbdim = X12023
- Asus2 = X02200
- F#sus2 = 044200

Walk a while with you

Because one day soon, the world is

Gonna change

Come home now, to make me feel
Am
Better
Verse
I’d sing for you slowly
And make you want this
I’d walk a while with you
All that I can do
Pre-Chorus
And someday soon the world is gonna change
And you won’t change with it
Chorus
‘Cause you are frozen, a paragraph from books
So old we will uncover your worth only from your looks
But I see children, children eager to explore you
To build something, we cannot fathom
Yet
Verse
I’d write out you story,
Through fingertips and powers,
I’d walk a while with you
Write the end with you
Pre-Chorus
And someday soon the world will have changed
And I won’t change with it
Chorus
I made the classic, mistake of giving up
I made the timeless fault of wasting time on stuff
We were all supposed to better and grow out of
Note! We do not end on D - Dm - Am here! The last line is omitted, so we immediately transition into the bridge/intermezzo below.
