Walking up a one way street (1965)
C - Dm - Em - F -
G
C Dm - Em F
1. I told you that I loved you,
time and time again,
C Dm Em F
but
you got me crying, baby, and my tears are flowing just like rain.
C Dm
Well, I'm all alone and blue
as can be,
Em F G G7 C
and
I'm walking, walking, walking up a one way street.
+ C - Dm - Em - F - G
C Dm - Em F
2. I would treat you, honey, I'd treat you so good,
C
Dm
Em F
if I
could I really would, and sometimes I think I should.
C Dm
Well, I'm all alone and blue
as can be,
Em F G G7 C
and
I'm walking, walking, walking up a one way street.
+ C - Dm - Em - F - G
C Dm - Em F
3. You know, it don't take much, it
don't take much to please me,
C Dm Em F
but
every day here lately seems like all you do is tease me.
C Dm
Well, I'm all alone and blue
as can be,
Em F G G7 C
and
I'm walking, walking, walking up a one way street.
+ C - Dm - Em - F - G
C Dm Em F
4. I thought one day, baby, I'd live to be your
fool,
C Dm
seems
as though it's the other way around
Em F
and I'm
walking to my doom.
C Dm
Well, I'm all alone and blue
as can be,
Em
F G G7 C
and
I'm walking, walking, walking up a one way street.
