Walkin' After Midnight by Patsy Cline

Intro: 4/4 ♪♪♪
  |    C     |  F7  -  G7  |    C     |  F7  -  G7  | 
                                                (I go out)
             C              C7 
1. I go out walk-in' af-ter mid-night
               F7                              C
   Out in the moon-light, just like we used to do
                C              F7
   I'm al-ways walk-in' af-ter mid-night
     G7            C   |  C  -  G7  | 
   Search-in' for you

                C               C7
2. I walk for miles a-long the high-way
                     F7                        C 
   Well, that's just my way of say-in' I love you
                C              F7
   I'm al-ways walk-in' af-ter mid-night
     G7            C   | C - C7  | 
   Search-in' for you

                   F
Chorus: I stop to see a weep-in' wil-low

        Cry-in' on his pil-low
         C                      C7
        May-be he's cry-in' for me
            F
        And as the skies turn gloom-y

        Night winds whis-per to me
             C               | G  -  G7  |
        I'm lone-some as I can be

             C              C7
3. I go out walk-in' af-ter mid-night
               F7                              C 
   Out in the star-light, just hop-ing you may be 
                 C              F7
   Some-where a-walk-in' af-ter mid-night
     G7           C   |  C  -  G7  | 
   Search-in' for me

Instr: |   C   |  F7  -  G7  |   C   |  C  -  C7  |

Chorus: I stop to see a weep-in' wil-low

        Cry-in' on his pil-low

        May-be he's cry-in' for me
            F
        And as the skies turn gloom-y

        Night winds whis-per to me
             C               | G  -  G7  |
        I'm lone-some as I can be
