_ _ _ When recording the song years ago, I remember so well the [Bm] first time I heard it in a publishing company.
[Gb] You didn't hear that much of it before.
[F] I'll [Eb] give that.
The song was He Walked on the Water, Alan Shatner wrote it.
[Bm] It was a great song.
[Ab] Now this is a true story.

[B] _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] I'm kidding.
[Gb] _ I grew up in a place called Marshmore, North Carolina.
I'm a [G] kid at this point, about seven years [Eb] old.
My grandfather was about seven.
Now he's sitting in a chair [B] under a mulberry tree in his yard.
He has his hat [Ab] on the ground.
Okay, I'm riding around [Gb] on a bicycle. _
[A] And he tells me not to run over his hat.
[N] _ A couple more rounds, [B] and I did.
I over his hat.
But because of his [F] age, the hands didn't shock me.
[D] _ _
So [Gb] good.
He lived to be on [B] that bike.
The bikes, they looked right.
He's got no one to watch.
So he was just_
And you [Db] know, being [Eb] from that generation, he really believed this.
[Db] If a kid did something worthy of punishment, he should receive that punishment right [N] there.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Shot right there. Yeah.
_ _ [B]
So he_
_ So he_
Oh, [G] get in there with it.
And [B] now, I've been going to the press over these years.
I was a nice [A] kid, I was a little bit of a brat.
[Eb] _ _ I figured, in my mind, he can't catch me.
So, [Bm] I ran one mile to start off the way, [Ab] I made his driveway, and I started throwing [Gb] rocks at him.
_ _ [Abm] True story, I promise you.
[N] Now, because he had_
He started throwing rocks back. _
_ There we are, 70 year old [Ab] man, and 70 year old kid. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] But this is all that [Fm] was going through my mind as I'm listening to this song for the first [B] time.
I'll give you a key.
[D] _
[E] The old star's my [Abm] shirt, _ [G] but he left it.
_ _ [D] And he'd sit and sing, watch the kids dance.
[A] _ _ [D] Then the teeth were gone.
The boy walked. _ _ _ _ _
He [Bm] walked.
_ [D] Oh, he walked. _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [Bm] Said, what a cowboy, [G] but he was young.
[D] He didn't have the runaround, [A] but he was good with the time.
[D] And my father said, he wanted [G] no more son.
_ [D] And I thought, _ [A] he walked.
[D] Oh, he walked.
_ _ I _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] know [D] that _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ he walked.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I know that _ he walked. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ He died for it.
[G] Do you love my home?
[D] He said, some of your money.
_ [A] He _ _ [D] _ said, you'll find [G] that I'm not.
[D] And I'm not.
I'm very sad.
_ _ _ [Bm] He drove into the rain.
_ [G] _ He walked down [A] the beach.
And I love you.
_ [G] _ He walked away.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[A] And he walked.
_ [D] Well, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ I don't know [D] him. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] And he walked.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] He walked. He _ _ _ _ _ _ walked.
