INTRO
[Am]
I've an agreeable baby likes everything that I do
[Dm] [Em]
Dances most every night - movies are her delight
[D7] [G]
I sort of go for them too but when
[Am] [D] [G] [Am7] [D7] [G] [G7]
movies and dances are done - that's when we have real fun
VERSE 1
[C] [C6] [Cmaj7] [C6]
Gee but it's great after being out late
[Cmaj7] [C6] [Bb7] [A7]
Walking my baby back home
[Dm] [A7] [Dm] [G7]
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
[Dm] [G7] [C] [G7]
Walking my baby back home
VERSE 2
[C] [C6] [Cmaj7] [C6]
We go along harmonizing a song
[Cmaj7] [C6] [Bb7] [A7]
or I'm reciting a poem
[Dm] [A7] [Dm] [G7]
Owls go by and they give me the eye
[Dm] [G7] [C] [B7]
Walking my baby back home
CHORUS 1
[Em7] [A7]
We stop for awhile - she gives me a smile
[Am7] [B7]
and snuggles her head to my chest.
[Em7] [A7]
We start in to pet and that's when I get
[Am7] [Dm7] [G7]
her powder all over my vest.
VERSE 3
[C] [C6] [Cmaj7] [C6]
After I kind of straighten my tie
[Cmaj7] [C6] [Bb7] [A7]
she wants to borrow my comb.
[Dm] [A7] [Dm] [G7]
One kiss then I continue again
[Dm] [G7] [C] [B7]
Walking my baby back home.
CHORUS 2
[Em7] [A7]
She's afraid of the dark so I have to park
[Am7] [B7]
Outside of her door 'til it's light.
[Em7] [A7]
She says if I try to kiss her, she'll cry
[Am7] [Dm7] [G7]
I dry her tears all through the night.
VERSE 4
[C] [C6] [Cmaj7] [C6]
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
[Cmaj7] [C6] [Bb7] [A7]
right from her doorway we roam.
[Dm] [A7] [Dm] [G7]
Eat and then, it's a pleasure again
[Dm] [G7] [Em] [A7]
Walking my baby, talkin' my baby
[Dm] [G7] [Em] [A7]
Lovin' my baby, I don't mean maybe
[Dm] [G7] [C]
Walkin' - - - my baby - - - - back home.
