Graham Parker Lyrics
"Devil's Sidewalk"

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 c em / / /
Em c em / / /
Em c em d

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

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

Em c em d
You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk
Em c 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 c
No-one's got names, under the flames
G d g c
Everyone screams, hope it's a dream
G d g c f#m
Nothing makes sense, everything's tense
Bm d
Wish I could say what it meant

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

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

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

Repeat and fade /pre>
