Walking Stick

Postby gijsdhaene » Fri Dec 23, 2011 6:43 am

Hi There,

Recently I had the chance to see the Cauter Family, along with Fapy Lafertin in Ghent.
This was the second time I saw them play, and it just blew me away. :)

That night they played the song ' Walking stick ' and I was wondering if someone has a decent Chordchart of this. Would love to play it with my GJ band!

Here's a version by the Cauter family.

Thank you and grts from Belgium! :)

It's an Irving Berlin tune. Here's a great clip with vocals:

It's full of double entendre. Once you figure out what is meant by "Walking stick" you'll get it.

Here's a fake sheet. The chorus starts on the fourth line. You can simplify the chords quite a bit.
