[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.
