Sidewalks Of Chicago Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]These Levi's that I'm wearing
have been [G]good to me
They [A]just won't admit
they're grown [D]old
And though my shirt's made contact
with the [G]gutter now and then
At [A]least it keeps my body from the [D]cold
Thank God the folks back home
in Harlan [G]County
I can't [A]see what success
has done to [D]me
Would you believe the kids
in Harlan High School
[G]Voted [A]me most likely to succee[D]d
Now I'm walkin' on
the sidewalks of Chicago
[G]If I buy[E] the bread,
I can't [A]af ford the wine
Yes, I'm [D]walkin' on
the sidewalks of [G]Chicago
[A]Wishin' I had left some other [D]time
I wasn't here too long before I [G]met her
And the [A]lady really swept me off my [D]feet
And she stayed just long enough
to make me [G]love her
[A]Now they're sweepin'
me up off the [D]street
My momma thinks I've
really hit the big [G]time
She's [A]written every day
since I've been [D]gone
But she doesn't know that
109 West [G]Charlotte
Is the [A]address of the West
Side Mission [D]Home
Now I'm walking on
the sidewalks of [G]Chicago
If I [E]buy the bread,
I can't af[A]ford the worm
[D]Now [A]I'm wal[D]kin' on
the sidewalks [G]of Chicago
Wish[A]in' I had lived some other [D]time
Now I'm walkin' on
the sidewalks [G]of Chicago
If I [E]buy the bread,
I can't [A]af ford the wine
Yes, I'm [D]walking on
the sidewalks [G]of Chicago
[A]Wishing I had lived some other [D]time
