WALK AWAY (Amy Ray)
-------------------
[Each chord, or chords joined by hyphens, is two fast 2/2 measures
or one slow 4/4 measure, depending on how you look at it.]
[The E's have some Esus4's in them, and the A's have Asus9's.]
[B(4) is x24440.]
[At the end of the second E in each E Bm7 A E series, play a
riff that goes 0-1-2 on the D string, then open G string.]
[Credit for most of the guitar solo tablature goes to Scot Ninneman
(scotjohn@leland.stanford.edu).]

[intro]
E Bm7
We used to walk in each other's arms,
A E
It was one on one, that's what you said
E Bm7
Now the moon is a sliver in our eye
A E
And we stumble bleeding on this broken glass
C#m B
There was too much repetition (over and over and over again)
C#m B
You know I passed the point of sane (over and over and over again)
C#m B
But all this broken glass you left behind
A B(4)
Won't let you make a clean, clean
E Bm7 A E
Walk away
Now we're crossing from this sacred ground
Where we once held each other, and each other's names
When the words are sparse, and we feel we're so profound
But babe, you know all I feel honey, I feel so ashamed
Ah, hah, yes there was, there was too much repetition
Oh, you know you know you know, you know I'm past the point of sane
Ah, ho, woh, and all this broken glass we left behind
Won't let us make a clean, clean
I said walk away, oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away, oh lord
I said walk away, ah yeah, walk away
Ah no, walk away, baby baby, walk away
G D
There was a time when we gave everything
A E
And it was true, babe, true enough to bleed (true enough to bleed, baby)
G D
But now you feel that you've got nothing left
A B(4)
Well if there's nothing to lose babe, oh baby, don't you know by now
E Bm7
Then there's nothing to gain, oh no, walk away
A E
Oh no, walk away, oh baby baby, walk away
You know I'd still hold you if I could
It's hard not to try and change, try to change your mind
Well I'm a pillar of salt and I want you to understand, babe
'Cause honey, this is the last time, it's the last time
I'll ever look behind
Oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away, all right, let's go
E Bm7 A E E Bm7 A E E Bm7 A B(4)
[guitar solo; see tab at end.]
Oh, I said walk away, oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/indigo_girls/walk_away_crd.html ]
Oh no, I said walk away, walk away, I said close your eyes
(Don't you know we used to walk in each other's arms)
Walk away, baby baby, try to listen to me, I want to tell you
(It was one on one (?), that's waht you said to me baby, yeah)
Now walk away, oh yeah, walk away, gotta learn to look inside
(Now the moon is a sliver in our eyes)
Walk away, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby
(We stumble, walking on broken glass, oh)
I said walk away, c'mon baby, walk away, I said listen to me
Walk away, baby baby, listen, I want to tell you
E Bm7
Now walk away, oh yeah, walk away
A B7sus4 E.
Oh no, walk away, oh baby, I said you got to know by now
