A          A6         C#m7       F#m 
Gee, it's great after bein' out late 
A7M              F#m        F#7 
Walkin' my baby back home; 
Bm5-/7    E7      Bm5-/7       E7 
Arm   in arm over meadow and farm, 
Bm5-/7      E7         A   Edim  E7 
Walkin' my baby back home. 
A       A6      C#m7      F#m 
We go along harmonizing a song, 
A7M      F#m       F#7 
Or I'm recitin' a poem 
Bm5-/7   E7          Bm5-/7       E7 
Owls go by and they give me the eye 
Bm5-/7      E7         A   A7M 
Walkin' my baby back home. 
Bridge one: 
   C#m                    F#7  
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile 
    F#m                      G#7 
And snuggles her head on my chest; 
    C#m                 F#7 
We start in to pet and that's when I get 
Bm7             E7 
Her talcum all over my vest. 
A     A6       C#m7         F#m 
After I kinda straighten my tie, 
A7M        F#m       F#7 
She has to borrow my comb; 
Bm5-/7     E7      Bm5-/7   E7 
One kiss then I continue again 
Bm5-/7       E7        A     A7M 
Walkin' my baby back home. 
Instrumenta: First Verse 
Bridge two: 
       C#m                 F#7 
She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park 
   F#m                        G#7 
Outside of her door till it's light 
    C#m              F#7 
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry 
B7              E7 
I dry her tears all through the night 
A        A6       C#m7      F#m 
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand, 
Am7             F#m       F#7 
Right from her doorway we roam; 
Bm5-/7    E7          Bm5-/7      E7 
Eats and then it's a pleasure again, 
Bm5-/7       E7  C#m5-/7      F#7 
Walkin' my baby, talkin' my baby, 
Bm5-/7      E7  C#m5-/7        F#7 
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe, 
Bm5-/7      E7   D9    A 
Walkin' my baby back home
