Out On The Tiles

Words & Music:

Led Zeppelin

 

You'll need the tab for this one.  It is given below.  Tabber unknown, alas.

 

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song

And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along

There is no doubt about - the words are clear

The voice is strong - it's oh so strong

 

I'm just a simple guy - I live from day to day

A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away

There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today

I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you

 

CHORUS:

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

All I need from you is all your love

All you got to give to me is all your love

 

I'm so glad I'm living - gonna tell the world I am

I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man

One thing that I know for sure - gonna give her all the loving

Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can

 

Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride

People go and people come - see my rider right by my side

It's a total disgrace - they set the pace - it must be a race

And the best thing I can do is run

 

CHORUS:

 

 

Out On The Tiles Tab
