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)
