Chords for Kelly Clarkson - Walkaway Joe

Alright, so, _ I had to take a little sip of the hair of the dog, I'm just saying.
Um, _ _ oh my _ gosh.
_ _ Anyways, so, uh, are y'all having a good time? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Um, well, thank you very much for having a good time.
I love coming out there in the audience.
And I love going back there because if I even got a ticket, I definitely was way back there. _
When I was a kid, because I was, oh.
_ Um, but [Ab] anyways, I appreciate all of you up here, all of you back there.
Everybody makes this show happen, so thank you very much.
[E] But, uh, [N] this whole thing we're gonna do next, um, we started last tour.
And I always have fans asking me to sing cover songs.
And I love [Eb] music probably more than the [Cm] average human being.
[G] [C] And, um, I just, all genres, I love it.
But, um, Jason, my musical director, had this great [Ab] idea last tour to start this thing called a fan request.
[N] And we let someone at each show pick a song, and I learn it that day.
And then, [Cm] and then so, sometimes [C] it's really good, and [E] sometimes it's like, oh [Db] no.
Um, [N] hopefully tonight it's not a no-no, because if I screw this song up, you have no idea.
This woman is my favorite singer in the entire [Eb] world.
Her voice is like crystal, and I'm [N] sweating so much I'm gonna cover her song.
I can't believe I'm gonna do it.
Anybody like Trisha Yearwood here?
_ I'm _ _ just saying, her voice is like, like straight from God.
Like, mine was like bypassed by like seven others, but like hers is like directly, and I love her voice.
So, but anyway, tonight, Lindsay [E] Huffman, this is for you.
[Cm] You asked for me to sing [Bb] a Trisha [Ebm] Yearwood song.
It's called Walk Away Joe.
[E] _ _ Mama _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ told her, baby girl, take it real slow.
Girl told her mama, hey, I really gotta go.
[Bm] He's waiting in the car. _
[Gb] Mama said, [G] girl, you won't get far.
And _ _ [D] thus all the dreams of a night on the edge of
An anonymized and out-of-bound lover's life
[Bm] On the table, James _
Oh, [G] she could only see _
This [A] place got a cause [Em] that it don't [D] wanna [G] show
[A] _ No, cause [D] that boy's just a walk away Joe
Born to be a leader, [Bm] taken from the world, though _
Dancing to the steamer, [G] he's a wrong kind of bad [C] guy
She's [G] gone over in a matter [A] of time
That [D] boy's just a walk away Joe
_ And _ in just a little while, that [G] one
He [D] pulls into a station and he rubs it clean
[Bm] She's waiting in the car
_ Oh, [D] in [G] the taxi car
She _ _ [D] only wanted love, didn't bother for [G] this
[D] She can't have a lover for the way that he is
[Bm] She's only seventeen
_ _ Oh, and there [G] ain't no reason in
_ So [A] she'll ride this ride [Em] as far as [Gbm] it [G] will go _
_ [A] _ [D] That boy's just a walk away Joe
Born to be a leader, [Bm] taken from the world, though
Dancing to the steamer, [G] he's a wrong kind of bad [C] guy
_ [G] She's gone over in a matter of [A] time
That [D] boy's just a walk away Joe
_ _ _ [Em] Somewhere _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] in a roadside motel
[D] _ Alone in the silence, she wakes up too soon
And [Bm] reaches for the door
[D] _ _ _ She'll [G] just keep reaching [D] _ [G] on
For the [A] cold hard truth, [Em] revealed what [D] it [G] had known
_ [A] _ That _ _ [Eb] _ _
[D] boy's just a walk away Joe
Born to be a leader, taken [Bm] from the world, though
Dancing to the steamer, he's [G] a wrong kind of bad [C] guy _
She's gone [G] over in _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] a matter of _ [Bm] time _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ That boy's just a [Db] walk away Joe
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
