[Intro]
D   F   C   Dx2
[Verse]
I Dhave this new tFattoo of which the Cstory must be Dtold
AbDout the night I Falmost overdCosed ten years Dago
I Dwoke up in the Fhospital with Cskin clammy and Dcold
And Dtubes in my urFethra, down my Cthroat, and up my Dnose
My Dfriends and the Fdoctors were all Cshocked I wasn’t Ddead
That’s Dwhen Katrina Flooked at me and Cthis is what she Dsaid
[Chorus]
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
[Verse]
So I Dwalked to the reFbel spot, I wCalked all over upDtown
I Dwalked right side Fup and I Cwalked upside Ddown
I Dwalked to ChetzeFmoka with my Ceyes fixed on the Dground yeah
We Dwalked all over FChetze Beach and kCept the rocks we fDound
[Verse]
Then I Dwalked back to my Fparents’ house, I walked bCack to my old bDed yeah
I walked bDack and I walked fast Fpast all the Cvoices in my hDead
I Dwalked with the Fsweats and I Cwalked with the Dchills
I walked Din New York CitFy and I Cwalked in Bedford DHills
[Verse]
I walked Dinto open miFc nights and I Cwalked into the rDooms
I walked Dfeeling optimistFic and I wCalked feeling dDoomed
I Dwalked with some mFama’s boys and I Cwalked with some Dpunks
I walked dDressed up like a rFabbit, I walked Cdressed up like a sDkunk
[Verse]
I Dwalked with some gFivers and I Cwalked with some lDeeches
I walked Dall by myselFf and I walked Cwith the Moldy DPeaches
I walked Dall over the worFld so I could Csing my songs to Dyou
And to Dyour most desperate Femails I said, “CThis is what I Ddo.”
[Chorus]
I Walk like DthundFerC  D  
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
Walk like thDunder F  C  D  
Walk like thDunderF  C  D  
[Verse]
But at Dsome point I Fgot so comCfortableD  
That I Ddidn’t even reFalize that IC’d started to cDrawl
Then my Dold friend Ammi Fdied at 37 Cof a heart attacDk
And I cDracked cause people my Fage are not suCpposed to die like tDhat
No no no Dno people my aFge are not supCposed to die like Dthat
[Verse]
He was the Dold manageFr of the sCidewalk caféD  
That Dplace was a second Fhome to me, it’s Cwhere I learned to Dplay
And his pDersonalitFy really heClped create a sDpace
Where a Dbunch of honest misFfits could all gCather and feel Dsafe
[Verse]
He was a Dcynic, a suppForter, he was cCrazy, he was quDeer
He’d either yDell out, “Cut the bFullshit” or he’d Csay, “I’m glad you’re Dhere.”
And it was Dalways such an hFonour to have ACmmi on my sidDe
That’s why iDt hit me like a FMack truck when CI found out that he Ddied
Yeah, it Dhit me like a MacFk truck when I Cfound that he Ddied
[Verse]
Then enter ADlex, 33 Fyears old and sCo sick with thDe cancer
And Dtrapped inside a Fbody that bCetrayed his real gDender
We Dall hoped and prFayed that he would Cgo into remissiDon
At least Dlong enough, just lFong enough to compClete his transDition
He said, “DKimya, did you kFnow EleventCeen’s my favourite sDong?”
I said, “Then Dget your ass on sFtage right now and Cyou can sing alDong.”
[Verse]
That’s the Dvery first soFng I ever wrCote all by myseDlf
It’s about aDngels and recoFvery and friCends and hope and hDealth
By the Dtime we finished sFinging he was pCissed off, he was sDcared
He said, “I Dlost my home, my lFover, my insuCrance, and my hDair.
And Dnow I’m aboFut to lose you tCoo, my new frieDnd.”
I lDooked into those Fbig blue eyes and sCaid we’ll meet Dagain
Yeah DI looked into his sFad blue eyes and saCid we’ll meet aDgain
[Verse]
Then I got the Dphone call from FAlyssa and she Ctold me he was Ddying
By the Dtime I got to his bedFside we were Cboth already flDying
We held Dhands and we sang sFongs, tried to be Cstrong floated Daround
While I cDursed the skin that Fhe was in for all the wCays it had let him Ddown
Yeah I cDursed the skin that hFe was in for all the waCys it had let him dDown
[Verse]
But at the Dsame time I was Ftaking my owCn body for granDted
FDirst I lost sighFt of my feet Cthen they became unpDlanted
And I Dnever felt so sFtupid or so Cselfish or so sDad yeah
My Dbody had been gFood to me and I Ctreated it so bDad yeah
My Dbody had been gFood to me and I Ctreated it so bDad
[Verse]
Then he said, “DMama, I don’t wFant my fCriends to watch me Ddie.”
So I Dkissed his cheek, made him a Fshirt, and tChen I said goodDbye
And they Dcremated Fhim in the sChirt that I dreDw
Of the tDwo of us that saFid they’re flying Cover you tDoo
Now the Dsilver pink poFnies have my Chomie in their Dcrew
So I Dtightened up my lFaces and knew Cwhat I had to dDo
[Outro]
I started Dwalking FagainC  D  
I started Dwalking Fagain, CI miss my fDriends
I started Dwalking FagainC  D  
I started Dwalking Fagain, CI miss my fDriends
Walk like DthunderF  C  D
