Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard - Sidewalks Of Chicago guitar chord

verse) 1

D G

These Levis that I'm wearin' have been good to me

A D

They just won't admit they're growin' old

D G

Though my shirt's made contact with the gutter, now and then

A D

At least it keeps my body from the cold

(verse) 2

D G

Thank God, folks back home in Harland County

A D

Can't see what success has done to me

D G

Would you believe the kids in Harland High School

A D

Voted me most likely to succeed

(chorus)

D D7 G

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

E A

If I buy the bread, I can't afford the wine

D7 G

Now I'm walkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago

A D

Wishin' I had lived some other time

(verse) 3

D G

I wasn't here too long before I met her

A D

And the lady, she really swept me off my feet

D G

And she stayed just long enough to make me love her

A D

And now they're sweepin' me up off the street

(verse) 4

D G

My mama thinks I've really hit the big time

A D

She's written every day since I've been gone

D G

But she doesn't know that 109 West Charlotte

A D

Is the address of the West Side Mission Home

(chorus)
