Mr. Walker, It's All Over — Billie Jo Spears
Chords and lyrics for Mr. Walker, It's All Over by Billie Jo Spears (key of D#).
Verse 1
I [G7]left Garden City Kansas with a ticket and a yen to see New York
I typed [C7]eighty words a minute so your corporation let me go to work
I fetch [D7]paper clips and coffee even help you dodge your domineering wife
Mr Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Verse 2
In[G7] this building there's a crowd of guys with old familiar thoughts upon
their minds
That's a [C7]lot of hands a reaching out to grab the things that I consider
mine
And the [D7]president pursues me even though he's old and hair a turnin' white
Mr Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Verse 3
[G7]There's a flat in Greenwich Village that I took because the subway wasn't
far
But a [C7]trumpet player's upstairs and below me there's a jumping all night
bar
And to [D7]frost a bitter cake I have to share the place with bugs and big ol'
mice
Mr Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Verse 4
[G7]Your sweetheart in personnel said I should give her written notice like the
rest
So I [C7]wrote goodbye with my brightest lipstick right across her big
expensive desk
You'd [D7]better call the Times and tell 'em - put your wanted ad right back
in classified
Mr Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Verse 5
[G7]There's a Greyhound at the station and a mom at home with open arms for me
Garden [C7]City's looking better every minute now since I have learned to see
And the [D7]boy next door don't know it but come June he's gonna gain himself a
wife
Mr Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Mr [D7]Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
Mr [D7]Walker it's all over I don't like the New York secretary's [G7]life
