Tom: C#m
E A
[Verse 1]
A
When you're walkin' in A
E
Everybody knows that you're down
E
Nobody walks anywhere any other way
A
In this lonesome town
A Ab A
Nothing separating you in the street
B Bb B
But a dollar and the shoes on your feet
[Chorus]
E
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
A
When you're walkin' in A
[Verse 2]
A
When you're walkin' in A
E
Ain't nobody knows you're alive
E
'Cause you're only as good in this city, they say
A
As the car you drive
A Ab A
Rolling by all shiny and new
B Bb B
And there's nothing that a poor boy can do
[Chorus]
E
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
A
When you're walkin' in A
[Bridge]
D E D A
Eighteen wheelers rolling by up on the 405
D E B E
Well I ain't going anywhere 'cause I ain't got a ride
[Verse 3]
A
When you're walkin' in A
E
Everybody passes you by
E
Maybe glance up in the rearview mirror and say,
A
"Who's that poor guy?"
A Ab A
Then you're staring at the taillights again
B Bb B
Of a Lexus or a Mercedes Benz
[Chorus]
E
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
A
When you're walkin' in A
[Fiddle/Guitar Solos]

A Ab A
B Bb B
E A
Ladies and gentlemen, Johnny Bush
[Bridge 2]
D E D A
Weekend warriors cruising up and down the boulevard
D E B E
Back to work on Monday morning, think they've got it hard
[Verse 4]
A
When you're walkin' in A
E
You might as well lay down and die
E
'Cause nothing's gonna be alright anyway
A
No matter how hard you try
A Ab A
A pedestrian in Beverly Hills
B Bb B
Ain't got any place to go but downhill
[Chorus]
E
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
A
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
E
When you're walkin' in A
A
When you're walkin' in A
[Outro]
E A
When you're walkin' in A
