Lyrics Devil's Sidewalk - Graham Parker, The Rumour

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 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 its 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
