 SIDEWALKS OF THE CITY (Lucinda Williams)<br/>
 ----------------------------------------<br/>
 [Each chord is one measure]<br/>
 <br/>
 G  C(9)  G  C(9)<br/>
 [intro]<br/>
 <br/>
 G        D              Am               C<br/>
   As you walk along the sidewalks of the city<br/>
 <br/>
 G           D        Am            C<br/>
   You see a man with hunger in his face<br/>
 <br/>
 G           D                   Am                 C<br/>
   And all around you, crumbling buildings and graffiti<br/>
 <br/>
 G             D                Am       C<br/>
   As you bend down to tie your shoelace<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Sirens scream, but you don't listen<br/>
 You have to reach home before night<br/>
 But now the sun beats down, it makes the sidewalks glisten<br/>
 And somehow you just don't feel right<br/>
 <br/>
 G        Em7  C(9)          G<br/>
 Hold me, baby, give me some faith<br/>
 <br/>
 G                  Em7    C(9)              G<br/>
 Let me know you're there, let me touch your face<br/>
 <br/>
         G    Em7      G     Em7<br/>
 Give me love, give me grace<br/>
 <br/>
         G            C(9)            C(9)     G    C(9)   G   C(9)<br/>
 Tell me good things, tell me that my world is safe<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 You pass by bars with empty stages<br/>
 Three o'clock drinkers fall by<br/>
 Chairs are placed on top of tables<br/>
 As you brush the hair out of your eyes<br/>
 <br/>
 A woman stops you with a question<br/>
 So you drop some money in her hand<br/>
 She sleeps in doorways and bus stations<br/>
 And you'll never understand<br/>
 <br/>
 Hold me, baby, give me some faith<br/>
 Let me know you're there, let me touch your face<br/>
 Give me love, give me grace<br/>
 Tell me good things, tell me that my world is safe<br/>
