Steve Earle   The Other Side Of Town written by Steve Earle


D
When I'm sad and blue 
        A7
And I'm feeling all alone 

There's a place that I go to 
            D
That no one knows 
D
Where no matter what I do 
        A7
Won't nobody put me down 

That's why I'm going to 
                  D
The other side of town 
D
On the other side of town 
          A7
Where the sun don't ever shine 

Everybody walks around 
       D
With a shadow cross their minds 
D
When that midnight train rolls by 
         A7
And they hear that lonesome sound 

They just hang their heads and cry 
                     D
On the other side of town 
D
Well it isn't very far 
         A7
And it's not that hard to find 
                                     D
You just follow all the other lonely souls 
D
Take a walk down lonesome lane 
         A7
'Til you see the dead end sign 
                                             D
And your broken heart will tell you where to go 
D
To the other side of town 
          A7
Where the sun don't ever shine 

Everybody walks around 
       D
With a shadow cross their minds 

When that midnight train rolls by 
         A7
And they hear that lonesome sound 

They just hang their heads and cry 
                     D
On the other side of town 

SOLO

D
So if you've find someone 
          A7
Who won't never let you down 
                               D
Hurry home before the sun goes down 
D
No matter what you do 
          A7
Don't let night fall like a shroud 
                                   D
And catch you on the other side of town 
D
On the other side of town 
          A
Where the sun don't ever shine 

Everybody walks around 
       D
With a shadow cross their minds 
D
When that midnight train rolls by 
         A
And they hear that lonesome sound 

They just hang their heads and cry 
                     D
On the other side of town
