Do You Remember Walter?
Written by Ray Davies
Demystified by Jim Smart
Intro is a C chord. It’s just a C scale, starting on G.
C
Walter, remember when the world was young
Eb Bb
And all the girls knew Walter's name?
F F7 Bb
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Ebmaj7 D G
Do you remember, Walter, playing cricket in the thunder and the rain?
Bb Cm Dsus D7 G
Do you remember, Walter, smoking cigarettes behind your garden gate?
Ab Eb
Yes, Walter was my mate,
G F C
But Walter, my old friend, where are you now?
cool drum fill over bouncing C chord...
melody plays over C chord, then ...
Eb Bb
Walter's name
F F7 Bb
Walter, isn't it a shame the way our little world has changed?
Ebmaj7 D G
Do you remember, Walter, how we said we'd fight the world so we'd be free.
Bb Cm Dsus D7 G
We'd save up all our money and we'd buy a boat and sail away to sea.
Ab Eb
But it was not to be.
G F C
I knew you then but do I know you now?
C Eb Bb
Walter, you are just an echo of the world we knew so long ago
F F7 Bb
If you saw me now you wouldn't even know my name.
Ebmaj7
I bet you're fat and married and
D G
you're always home in bed by half-past eight.
Bb Cm
And if I talked about the old times
Dsus D7 G
you'd get bored and you'll have nothing left to say.
Ab Eb G F C
Yes people often change, but memories of people can remain.
