Tab
This song changes Key from Eb to E I`ve tabbed it in both keys so not to have bent notes.

KEY Eb
1.
 3    4    4 4    4   4   4  4  4  -4-4
The love between the two of us was dyin`
 4  -4  5   5  5  5   6  6  5   4   -4
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave
 4    6  6    6   -6    6 -5    5  6  -5
But halfway down that highway when I turned 
 6 -5  5 -4   4  5  5    5  5    -5-5    5-4   4
around I saw my little daughter runnin` after me
 4-4     5 6    6    5    6  -6   6
Cryin` "Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast
-6 7    7   -6    7  -8   7    7-8    8    8
Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast, Daddy slow down 
 -8    8    -8    7-6    7 8-8   8-8   8     7
some `Cos you`re makin` me run, Daddy Don`t You
 -8  -8   7
Walk So Fast.
2.
It broke my heart to tell my little daughter
That her Daddy had to run to catch a train
She had no way of knowing I was leavin` home for good
I turned around and there she was again cryin`
"Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast, Daddy Don`t You Walk
So Fast, Daddy slow down some because you`re makin`
me run Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast
KEY E

 3  4 4  4   4    4   4  4   4    -4 -4
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter
4  -4   5   5   5    5   6     6     5    4   -4
I just had to turn back home right there and then
 4   6   6    6 -6  6   -5    5   6   -5 6  -5
And try to start a new life with the mother of
 5   -4
my child.
4   5 5      5   5  -5   -5     5   -4 4
I couldn`t bear to hear those words again
3   4   -4    5 6   6     5    6  -6  6
As she said "Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast
-6 7    7   -6    7  -8   7    7 -8   8   8
Daddy Don`t You Walk So Fast, Daddy slow down 
 -8    8   -8     7-6    7 8-8  8-8    8    7
some `cos you`re makin` me run Daddy Don`t You
 -8  -8   7     7   -8    8    8   -8    8
Walk So Fast, Won`t you slow down some `cos 
  -8    7-6    7 8-8   8-8    8    7   -8  -8
you`re makin` me run, Daddy Don`t You Walk So
