Verse 1
[Gm] [C#dim7]
Without my walking stick, I'd go insane
[D7] [Gm]
I can't look my best I feel undressed without my cane.
[C#dim7]
Must have my walking stick, 'cause it may rain
[D7] [Gm]
When it pours can't be outdoors without my cane.
Chorus
[Cm]
If I ever left my house, without my walking stick,
[Gm] [A] [D7]
Well it would be something, I could never explain;
[Gm] [C#dim7]
Oh the thing that makes me click, on lovers lane,
[D7] [Gm]
Would go for naught if I were caught without my cane.
