Walkin' After Midnight

Words & Music by Don Hecht & Alan Block, 1957

  G       C             F7
I go out walkin' after midnight

         C        G7   C       F       C
In the moonlight just like we used to do;

     Dm7    C            F7       G7             C
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you.

   G        C              F7
I walk for miles along the highway;

                C  G7  C     F       C
That's just my way of bein' close to you.

  G7      C            F7        G7            C  F  C
I go out walkin' after midnight searchin' for you.

Bridge:

          C9            Gdim     F           Fdim
I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow;

  C         CM7       C7
Maybe he's cryin' for me.

     F                       Fdim
And as the sky turns gloomy, night winds whisper to me

(First Time)

C         Gdim       Dm7   G7
Lonely as lonely can be.

(Second time - Key Change to A)

C         Gdim       G7   A7
Lonely as lonely can be.

(First Time)

     G       C            F7
I'll go out walkin' after midnight

       C          G7  C         F        C
In the starlight and pray that you may be

      G        C             F7       G        G+  C
Somewhere out walkin' after midnight searchin' for me.

(Second time)

        D                G7
I'll go out walkin' after midnight

         D        A7   D        G      D
In the starlight and pray that you may be

      Em7       D           G7        A7           D  G  Gdim D
Somewhere out walkin' after midnight searchin' for me.
