[Opening]
[F]Strolling, just [B]strolling,
In the [Bb]cool of the [D]evening [Gm]air,
[C7]I don’t [F]envy the [F7]rich
In their [Bb]automo[Bbm]biles,
Coz a [G]motor car is [G7]phoney
I’d [C]rather [C7]have Shanks’s [C7]pony,
When I’m [F]strolling, just [B]strolling,
By the [Bb]light of the [C7]moon a[F]bove,
[F7]Ev’ry [D]night I go out [D7]strolling,
[G7]And I [F]know my luck is [Bb]rolling, [F]
[Bb]When I’m [F]strolling with the one [F]I [C7]love. [F]

[section 2]
Coz a [G]motor car is [G7]phoney
I’d [C]rather [C7]have Shanks’s [C7]pony,
When I’m [F]strolling, just [B]strolling,
By the [Bb]light of the [C7]moon a[F]bove,
[F7]Ev’ry [D]night I go out [D7]strolling,
[G7]And I [F]know my luck is [Bb]rolling, [F]
[Bb]When I’m [F]strolling with the one [F]I [C7]love. [F]

[Closing]
[F]Strolling, just [B]strolling,
In the [Bb]cool of the [D]evening [Gm]air,
[C7]Every [F]man and his [F7]dog
Keeps on [Bb]walking for [Bbm]miles
And we [G]don’t care who [G7]tramps most,
But they can [C]never [C7]pass one lamp [C7]post,
When they’re [F]strolling, just [B]strolling,
By the [Bb]light of the [C7]moon a[F]bove
[F7]Though we [D]might think we’re good [D7]planners,
[G7]But the [F]blighters won’t [Bb]learn [F]manners,
[Bb]Though they’re [F]strolling with the ones [G7]they [C7]love. [F]
