There are different hammer ons and other things in the song that you can just improv,
are just the essential chords.
The walk down is on the A string.
Intro
G C G (walk down) D G D
G
At the station you can meet her
C G
With that smile you couldn't cheat her
Walk-down D G D
A woman that kind is hard to find
G
It's good to take a girl
C G
In the not so very good world
Walk-down D G
And walk in the park until it gets dark
D7 Am
Sometimes I feel ugly and old
D7 Am
Excuse me baby if I'm acting bold
D7 Am
My head gets hot but my feet aren't cold
C D
Excuse me if you will
G
Take a breather on a bench
C G
Helps to build up the suspense
Walk-down D G D
Then the two of you go to a movie show
G
If she's woman there's a chance
C G
That she maybe likes to dance
Walk-down D
So you go to the hall and you out step
G
Em all
D7
Don't make a hullabaloo I'm not the
Am
hoipaloi
D7 Am
I'll try any trick and I'll pull any ploy
D7 Am
I'm a used up twentieth century boy
C D
Excuse me if you will
Interlude: G C G D G
G
She takes you home to meet the folks
C G
Laughing at the fathers jokes
Walk-down D G D
Shall we watch TV, it's all right with me
G
Time to go you're going to miss her
C G
In the doorway try to kiss her
Walk-down D
Oh it tastes so good, like you hoped it
G
would
D7 Am
If I was 16 again I'd give my eyetooth
D7 Am
I'm tired and I'm hungry and I'm looking for my youth
D7 Am
I'm a little uncool and I'm a little uncouth
C C D
Oh excuse me yes excuse me if you will
G
At the station you can meet her
C G
With that smile you couldn't cheat her
Walk-down D G
A woman that kind is hard to find.
