This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

WALTER'S THEME

From: JeremyH109@aol.com

Here's the way I play this song - The song is in E

and you just play Fig. 1 over and over during the

"verses" and the break is Fig.2. The song ends with

an E7 chord...

Lyrics:

Hey this is David

I've got a hat the size of Oklahoma

Put on my boots and going down to Walter's

Good tasting barbecue

Bring some home to the misses

They'll give you a bag to put it in

This is David, signing off
