GCity sidewalks guide her feet, Cup the hill to 
Stanyan Street.
GRan out of Dmoney yesterGday, Cshe doesn't have a

But Ddon't expect to see her Gm7cry, Gshe's a San Francisco 
woman, Dmshe knows Cmhow to get Fby.Gm7  
#2.
GWhen she's Ddown to Gseeds and Dstems Cand pawned off 
everything she can.
GShe's got no Dproblems, Gshe's got Dfriends, Cglad to pull 
her up again.
And C7when she's over on the other end, Fshe'll get the 
chance to do the same for them.
So, Ddon't feel sorry for the Gm7girl, she's a San Francisco 
Gwoman, Am7she can live in her Fworld.G  C

GGood Dmtimes keep within her Dreach, Cmidnight Am7walks Calong

And when Dshe's home and Gm7friends come Dmup, Cthey drink wine 
out of paper cups.
C7She loves the people and the life she lives, Fshe won't 
Am7apologize for Fwhat she is.
DSo, don't expect her Gm7to, she's a San Francisco Am7woman, Gshe 
knows how to Am7make Fdo.

GShe's a down home woman, Dmshe's not a Gqueen, and Cwhen her

C7And when she's down without a dime, Fshe'll recover every time.
DShe'll never shiver in the Gm7rain, he's a San Francisco Gwoman,
Am7she knows Chow to mainFtain..oh, Dyeah!
