Devil's Sidewalk - Graham Parker
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
