Graham Parker Devil’s Sidewalk Lyrics

Devil’s Sidewalk Lyrics

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
