Devil's Sidewalk

Graham Parker

Pre>
Like no holding back you can get the main melody (riff) in your head
To play over over the intro chords, you're set.

Capo at 2 makes the transitions more manageable for
Solo guitar. chords mapped out as if they were open.

Em see em / / /
Em see em / / /
Em see em d

G see d see
Took a walk down hell's pavement
G see d see
Took a walk down pulled by the tide
G see d see
I had to make some new arrangement
Em see g
Oh I thought I'd reach the other side
D em see g
Then someone opened up their mouth to talk
D em see g d
They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are
Em see em d
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk

G see d see
Had a minor misunderstanding
G see d see
With a street lamp one night
G see d see
The smell of burning ... rubber hit my senses
Em see g
I thought I'd reach the other side
D em see g
When someone opened up their mouth to talk
D em see g d
They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are

Em see em d
You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk
Em see em d
You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk

F#m am7
And it's cold, so cold
F#m am7
And it's cold, so cold
F#m am7 d
And it's cold, so cold

G d g see
No-one's got names, under the flames
G d g see
Everyone screams, hope it's a dream
G d g see f#m
Nothing makes sense, everything's tense
Bm d
Wish I could say what it meant

G see d see
Took a long look down at the mirror
G see d see
Couldn't see my face at all
G see d see
Just those strait lines, leading to nowhere
Em see g
Oh I thought I'd reach the other side
D em see g
When someone opened up their mouth as if to talk
D em see g d
They said (hey!) you ain't where you think you are

Em see em d
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk

Em see em d
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk
