[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Em C
Shut off the T.V.
D Em
and peel off those sunday gloves,
Am Em D
And I'll stain the clean that you've been counting.
Em Em
Old Mr.
C D G
Fletcher passed by here today,
Am Em D Em
After forty years of toil he just up and walked away.
[Verse 2]
Em Em C D Em
Fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes,
Am Em D
He shrugged when I asked him about it.
Em Em C
He said, "young man, pay heed,
D G G
you listen well to what I say,
Am Em D Em
Now there comes a time for a man to walk away.
"
[Chorus]
D D Em
Walk away, I'll be a parade,
C B B7 Em
And I'll be determined that noone shall dissuade
C D G
On my way, I'll sure take some time
C B B7 Em
To burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind.
[Verse 3]
Em C D Em
He passed by again and he was shivering from cold,
Am Em D
I'm not sure but I think that he was trying.
Em Em C D G G
He told me 'bout the weather and something old to pay,
Am Em
"But tomorrow", he said,
D Em
"I'm gonna surely walk away."
[Chorus]
D D Em
Walk away, I'll be a parade,
C B B7 Em
And I'll be determined that noone shall dissuade
C D G
On my way, I'll sure take some time
C B B7 Em
To burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind.
