WALK ON THE ROCKS
By: Alan Jackson


(Capo at 3rd fret)
Intro: D - D - G - D - D 

          D                     G
After seventeen years,  behind bars
                           D
And looking back on his mistakes
    D                              G
He sat down and poured out,  his heart
          Em                     A                       
When his son came and seen him today



Bm                A             G
He spoke with a voice,  that trembled
 Bm        A             G
Trying to hold back the tears
        G            F#m        Em
He said I ain't been much of a father
       G                           A
Son I wish I could turn back, the years

       G                            D
Cause life's like a river, And the water is deep
  A                            D
Cross it with care, Or you'll end up like me
G        A          D              G     (Hold for 4 beats)
Let my mistakes, Be your steppin' stones
     Em           A                     D
And walk on the rocks, That I stumbled on



D - D - G - D - D - G 


         D                       G
He said son stay away from, the bottle
      G                        D
Watch out for the company you keep
      D                   G
And hold on to those you love
       Em                        A
Cause love is a man's greatest need



Bm             A          G
The right way may not be easy
Bm              A              G
The right road ain't always straight
G                 F#m           Em
Son, please don't follow the footsteps
      G                   A
That leads to where I am today



Repeat Chorus:


G - A - D - G  (Hold for 4 beats)


          Em                     A          D
