Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D](Walk tall)

[Verse 2]
Walk tall, walk [D]straight and look
the [A]world right in the [D]eye
That's [G]what my mama told me
when [D]I was about knee high
She [G]said son, be a proud man
[D]and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[A]the world right in the [D]eye

[Verse 3]
All [D]through the years that I grew
up, ma [A]taught these things [D]to me
[G]But I was young and foolish [Em]then
and [D]much too blind to see
[G]I ignored the things s[Em]he said
as [D]if I'd never heard
Now I see and understand the
[A]wisdom of her [D]words

[Verse 4]
[D]Walk tall, walk straight and look
[A]the world right in the [D]eye
That's [G]what my mama told me
when [D]I was about knee high
She [G]said, son, be a proud [Em]man
and [D]hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight [A]and look
the world right in the [D]eye

[Verse 5]
[D]I started goin' places where
the young[A]sters shouldn't [D]go
[G]I got to know the kind [Em]of girls
it's [D]better not to know
[G]I fell in with a bad [Em]crowd and [D]laughed
and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words
[A]would echo now and [D]then

[Verse 6]
Walk tall, walk [D]straight and look
the world [A]right in the [D]eye
That's [G]what my mama told me
when [D]I was about knee high
She [G]said, son,
be a proud man [D]and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[A]the world right in the [D]eye

[Verse 7]
[D]I got in trouble with the law and
[A]I'm in prison [D]now
[G]Through these prison bars I see thing
[D]s so much different now
[G]I've got one year left to serve
and [D]when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and
make ma [A]proud to call me son
[D]

[Verse 8]
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[A]the world right in the [D]eye
That's [G]what my mama told me when
[D]I was about knee high
[G]She said, son,
be a proud man [D]and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look
[A]the world right in the [D]eye
[A]Walk [D]tall, walk straight and
[A]look the world right in the [D]eye
Walk tall

[Outro 1]
