Graham Parker Devil's Sidewalk lyrics

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
 
repeat and fade
