A                    A/C#      D
Won't you smile? You looked so shocked,
                 D/F#    E
Put the name tag on your smock,
      E/D           A/C#    D          D/E
We're here to see ya, Eddie Walker.
A             A/C#   D
We may pack a little tight,
                      D/F#     E/G#
The girl upfront says "It's allright",
                 E/D     A/C#
And look there's more of us,
      D              A/C#
Still geting off the bus,
   D          D/F#      E
We wish you'd come back home with us.

Eddie walker, This is your life.

A                   A/C#     D
This one's you when you were small,
                    D/F#   E
And you're learning how to walk,
     E/D         A/C#         D D/E D/F# D/G#
They pick you up and you keep falling down,
A                  A/C#    D
There you are with Aunt Louise,
                D/F#   E/G#
You're bouncing on her knees,
         E/D       A/C#             D
Remember all those trees behind the garden?
        A/C#
They're gone, 
     D       D/F#          E
They all got cut down when she died.

C#m7  F#m7                 D
Eddie Walker, This is your life,
    A/C#                 Bm
You never had a son or a wife,
    Bm/A                 E/G#     E
You sure had a hell of a time,
   C#m7  F#m7                 D   A/C#   Bm   Bm/A   E/G#   E   E7
Oh Eddie Walker, This is your life.
D                       A/C#
This one's you and Mary Joe,
                      B/D#         B/F#
She couldn't come she says "Hello"
   Fdim      Fdim/G#   Fdim/B   Fdim/D   A/C#  A/E
No Eddie Walker, She doesn't hate your guts,
Fdim      Fdim/G#   Fdim/B   Fdim/G#   A  
It's just the whole thing shook her up,
A/E                        B/D#             D
How they picked you up and you kept falling down.
C#m7     F#m7    D   A/C#   Bm   Bm/A   E/G#   E   E7
Oh Eddie Walker,         This is your life.

Oh Eddie Walker, This is your life,
A/C#                       Bm   
You never wore a coat or a tie,
    Bm/A                  E/G#   E   E7
You never had a reason to cry.

A/C# D     A/C# D    Dsus2/E
A                        A/C#   D
And this whole stack and all of these?
              D/F#  E/G#
Your semester overseas.
      E/D         A/C#       D
We're gonna leave you, Eddie Walker.
