[Intro]: G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch] x2
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Oh no, here comes that sun again
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
That means another day, without you my friend
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
And it hurts even more, to have to be with somebody else
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Walk away
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
With so many people to love in my life
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Why do I worry about one
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
But you put the happy in my ness
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
You put the good times into my fun
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Walk away, and head for the door

Am Em G5 D/F#
We've tried the goodbye so many days
Am Em G5 D/F#
We walk in the same direction, so that we could never stray
Am Em G5 D/F#
They say if you love somebody, then you have got to set them free
Am Em D/F# G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
But I would rather be locked to you, than live in this pain and misery
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
They say time will make all this go away
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows, and turned them into yesterdays
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
And once again that rising sun is dropping on down
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
And once again you my friend are nowhere to be found
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] G5
Walk away, and head for the door
[ch]G5/C[/ch] [ch]G5/B[/ch] [ch]G5/A[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
You just walk away
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Walk away
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Walk away
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Just walk on, walk on, turn and head for the door
G5 [ch]G5/F#[/ch] [ch]G5/E[/ch] [ch]G5/F#[/ch]
Just walk away

(the picking pattern) & Tablature. If you need further help or explanations don't
hesitate to ask, if it is a subject where other people may benefit from the answer
