Graham Parker > The Up Escalator 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 / / /

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
