Sideways chords by Citizen Cope

Chords with lyrics

I have never posted a song before, but I have used this site regularly for
many years. After looking at all the versions here of this song and some of
the chord names were not right I decided it was time to put back. This how
I play it. The chord names are correct. Standard shapes. In my opinion it
sounds fuller. This just my interpretation of the song, but I think you will
find that you can play it dead on with the various versions of the song
you will find out there. And it is easier than trying to mute strings up
around the 5th-7th frets. The voicing is obviously different from the
original.

One odd chord: A*= Aadd9Aadd9 flat5 = x0120x

Sideways by Citizen Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) Easy Version

Intro: Dsus2Dsus2 2X
Dsus2Dsus2
You know it ain't easy     For these thoughts here to leave me
Dsus2Dsus2
There're no words to describe it    In French or in English
E minorEm
  'cause diamonds they fade
Dsus2Dsus2
And flowers they bloom And I'm telling you

Chorus:         A minorAm
That these feelings won't go away
             E minorEm
They've been knockin' me sideways
             A*
They've been knockin' me out lately
          Dsus2Dsus2
(When)ever you come around me
           A minorAm
These feelings won't go away
             E minorEm
They've been knockin' me sideways
           A*
I keep thinking in a moment that
         Dsus2Dsus2
Time will take them away
            A*
But these feelings won't go away...
           A*
These feelings won't go away

Repeat all again...


Play the following 2X
A*
'cause diamonds they fade And flowers they bloom
        A minorAm
And I'm telling you    I'm telling you


>Chorus 1X to end
