x 4, with oooh, ahh
GIn the middle of (I go walking in)
In the middle of (I go G9walking in)
CIn the middle of (I go Cmaj7walking in)
DIn the middle of (I go walking in)
In the middle of the Gnight
I go walking in my sleep
From the G7mountains of Cfaith
To the Cmaj7river so Ddeep
I must be looking for Gsomething
Something sacred I lost
But the G7river is Cwide
And it’s Cmaj7too hard to Dcross
EmAnd even though I know the Gmaj7river is wide
I walk Cmaj7down every evening and Gstand on the shore
Cmaj7I try to cross to the Gmaj7opposite side
So I can A7finally find out what I’ve been Dlooking for
In the middle of the Gnight
I go walking in my sleep
Through the G7valley of Cfear
To a Cmaj7river so Ddeep
I’ve been searching for Gsomething
Taken out of my soul
Something G7I could never Close
Something Cmaj7somebody Dstole
I Emdon’t know why I go Gmaj7walking at night
But now I’m Cmaj7tired and I don’t want to Gwalk anymore
I Cmaj7hope it doesn’t take the Gmaj7rest of my life
Until I A7find what it is I’ve been Dlooking for
Hang for 1 measure
In the middle of the Gnight
I go walking in my sleep
Through the G7jungle of Cdoubt
To the Cmaj7river so Ddeep
I know I’m Gsearching for something
Something so undefined
That it can G7only be Cseen
By the Cmaj7eyes of the Dblind
In the middle of the Gnight
Note the lyrics are reversed wrt the intro
GI go walking in the, in the middle of the
I go walking in the, in the G7middle of the
CI go walking in the, in the Cmaj7middle of the
DI go walking in the, in the middle of the
GI go walking in the, in the middle of the
I go walking in the, in the G7middle of the
CI go walking in the, in the Cmaj7middle of the
DI go walking in the, in the middle of the
EmI’m not sure about a Gmaj7life after this
God Cmaj7knows I’ve never been a Gspiritual man
Cmaj7Baptized by the Gmaj7fire
I wade into the Ariver that is running through the Dpromised land
Hang for 1 meaure and 2 extra beats
In the middle of the Gnight
I go walking in my sleep
Through the G7desert of Ctruth
To the Cmaj7river so Ddeep
We all end in the Gocean
We all start in the streams
We’re all G7carried aClong
By the Cmaj7river of Ddreams
In the middle of the Gnight
I go walking in the, in the middle of the
I go walking in the, in the G7middle of the
CI go walking in the, in the Cmaj7middle of the
DI go walking in the, in the middle of the
