The DLevis that I'm wearin' have been gGood to me
AThey just won'Dt admit they're growin' old
Though Gmy shirt's made contact with the gutter, now and then
AAt least iDt keeps my body from the cold
Thank God, folks back home in Harland County
Can't see what success has done to me
Would you believe the kids in Harland High School
Voted me most likely to succeed
Chorus:
ND7ow I'm Gwalkin' on the sidewalks of Chicago
EIf I buy the Abread I can't afford the wine
Now I'm D7walkin' on the sidewalks of ChiGcago
AWishin' I had lived some other Dtime
I wasn't here too long before I met her
And then later she really swept me off my feet
And she stayed just long enough to make me love her
And now they're sweepin' me up off the street
My mama thinks I've really hit the big time
She's written ever day since I've been gone
But she doesn't know that 109 West Charolette
Is the address of the West Side Mission Home
Chorus

D G

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

A D

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

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

A D

At least it keeps my body from the cold

Thank God, folks back home in Harland County

Can't see what success has done to me

Would you believe the kids in Harland High School

Voted me most likely to succeed

Chorus:

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

I wasn't here too long before I met her

And then later she really swept me off my feet

And she stayed just long enough to make me love her

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

My mama thinks I've really hit the big time

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

But she doesn't know that 109 West Charolette

Is the address of the West Side Mission Home
