Lucinda Williams – Sidewalks Of The City (Guitar)

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

G      D                      Am    C
Sirens scream  but you don't listen

G           D                 Am     C
You have to reach home before night

G           D                  Am                  C
But now the sun beats down  it makes the sidewalks glisten

G           D                   Am   C
And somehow you just don't feel right

G        Em    C            G
Hold me, baby, give me some faith

G                  Em     C                 G
Let me know you're there  let me touch your face

C       G     C       G    C
Give me love  give me grace

        G            C                        G    C  G   C
Tell me good things  tell me that my world is safe

G           D               Am    C
You pass by bars with empty stages

G             D             Am   C
Three o'clock drinkers fall by

G          D                Am    C
Chairs are placed on top of tables

G                D                Am   C
As you brush the hair out of your eyes

G       D                Am           C
A woman stops you with a question

G                D            Am    C
So you drop some money in her hand

G             D                Am            C
She sleeps in doorways and bus stations

G          D           Am    C
And you'll never understand

G        Em    C            G
Hold me, baby, give me some faith

G                  Em     C                 G
Let me know you're there  let me touch your face

C       G     C       G    C
Give me love  give me grace

        G            C                        G    C  G   C  G
Tell me good things  tell me that my world is safe
