It's crazy.
I don't know when I've been to a wedding where they throw rice in it, but now they throw something else.
I'm not sure what I've done.
But we used to collect the [N] rice, pick it up, put it in a bag, and then we would see it.
The next day, we'd run down and throw the rice in the sink.
Yeah, that's true.
This whole story has next to nothing to do with the city.
I thought I'd go to jail and rest.
Well, I'm going to do this for Walt and his pal.
Walt brought his own fan club, I guess.
You all know Walt?
Yeah. Do they?
All [Db] right, brother.
[F]
All right.
Walt grew up [N] on an L-shaped block in Cincinnati.
His aunt, [Ab] all his cousins, his brothers, it's all
I knew [F] that story was going to be something.
No more out.
Bye.

[C] [Dm]
[C]
I [F] remember [D] how rough your hand felt on my, yeah, on my wedding day.
And the [F] tears cried on my [Dm] shoulder I [Bb]
couldn't turn away.
Well, so much [F] has happened to me [Dm]
[C] that [Gm] I don't understand.
All I can think of is being [F] a five-year-old fondling [C] behind you at the beach,
tracing [Bb] your footprints in the sand, [C] trying to walk like [F] a man.
[Dm] [C]
[Bb]
[F] By a lady [D] of good, we [C] lived in the [Bb] shadow of the L.
I remember my ma [F] dragging me and my [D] sister up the street in church.
[Bb] Whenever she heard those lowing bells.
Would they ever [F] look so [D] happy [C] again, the [Bb] handsome groom and his bride,
[F] as they stepped into [C] that long beach [D] for
[Bb] them to stand right.
Well, tonight [Gm] you step away [Am] from me and [Bb] along the altar I stand.
As I [F] watch my bride coming down the line, I pray for the strength to walk
[C] like a man.

[Em] [Dm] [C] [Bb]
Well, now the [F] years have gone [C] and I've grown.
If [Bb] from that seed you saw, [Bb] but [F] I didn't think there'd been so [Dm] many steps
that [Bb] I had to learn on my own.
Well, I was [F] young and I didn't know what [Dm] to do.
When I [C] saw your best day of the store, [D] away from you, I'll do what [Bb] I can.
[C] Walk like [F] a man.
