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)
