SIDEWALKS OF THE CITY (Lucinda Williams)
|

[Each chord is one measure]

[intro]
|

|
|
|

|
|
G D Am C
|
||
|
|
As you walk along the sidewalks of the city
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G D Am C
|
||
|
|
You see a man with hunger in his face
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G D Am C
|
||
|
|
And all around you, crumbling buildings and graffiti
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G D Am C
|
||
|
|
As you bend down to tie your shoelace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sirens scream, but you don't listen
|
||
|
|
You have to reach home before night
|
||
|
|
But now the sun beats down, it makes the sidewalks glisten
|
||
|
|
And somehow you just don't feel right
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G Em7 C(9) G
|
||
|
|
Hold me, baby, give me some faith
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G Em7 C(9) G
|
||
|
|
Let me know you're there, let me touch your face
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G Em7 G Em7
|
||
|
|
Give me love, give me grace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
G C(9) C(9) G C(9) G C(9)
|
||
|
|
Tell me good things, tell me that my world is safe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You pass by bars with empty stages
|
||
|
|
Three o'clock drinkers fall by
|
||
|
|
Chairs are placed on top of tables
|
||
|
|
As you brush the hair out of your eyes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A woman stops you with a question
|
||
|
|
So you drop some money in her hand
|
||
|
|
She sleeps in doorways and bus stations
|
||
|
|
And you'll never understand
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hold me, baby, give me some faith
|
||
|
|
Let me know you're there, let me touch your face
|
||
|
|
Give me love, give me grace
|
||
|
|
Tell me good things, tell me that my world is safe
|
