SIDEWALKS OF THE CITY (Lucinda Williams) ---------------------------------------- [Each chord is one measure]
[intro]
As you walk along the sidewalks of the city
You see a man with hunger in his face
And all around you, crumbling buildings and graffiti
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
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
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
