F       C             G
  Night-time, I stage my street show
F               C                G
 Yeah, love for money, that’s my cash flow
F     C                G
 No I don’t get scared when I walk alone
              F            C              G
’Cause I have been on this beat enough to know

F               C             G
 That when shit happens it is just your turn
                  F
And you deal with it
       C            G
And it happens everyday
          F                C                G
 (yeah it happens) I don’t know quite where I belong,

So when they come
F         C           G
 I freely give myself away

       Am         Dm
Yeah I walk about
                         Am
A very different kind of walkabout
       F                   G
A very different place and time


[Chorus]
    C             G
And I stand under street lights
Am            G              C           G
Dreaming of a moon and it is rising in a desert
Am             G
A life I never knew
      C   G   Am  G
Taken away,
          C   G
Taken away
    Am              G         C
And now I’m walking by myself
G        Am  G
  Taken away,
       C   G
Taken away
    Am              G
And now I’m walking by myself

C G Am G


[Verse 2]
F               C          G
  When you grow up in institutions
         F                 C              G
You make your friends, but love you never know
          F               C                  G
So it was when I found my blood ran from the desert
             F               C              G
Yeah, then I knew it was somewhere I had to go
F     C                G
 So I went down to the people there
          F        C       G
I lost and found myself on either side
F          C                   G
 Something deep down just don’t feel right
         F               C
’Cause I walk about this country
      G                                          Am          Dm
And I  walk about these streets to find where my heart lies
                         Am
A very different kind of walkabout
       F                  G
A very different place and time


[Chorus]
    C             G
And I stand under street lights
Am            G              C           G
Dreaming of a moon and it is rising in a desert
Am             G
A life I never knew
      C   G   Am  G
Taken away,
          C   G
Taken away
    Am              G         C
And now I’m walking by myself
G        Am  G
  Taken away,
       C   G
Taken away
    Am              G
And now I’m walking by myself


[Instrumental]

[Outro]

  Walking by myself

C   G
Ooh walkin’ walkin’

  Walking by myself
C   G
Ooh walkin’ walkin’
