Sidewalk Song
A augmentedA Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 D6D6 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Forty-seven cracks in the sidewalk that leads from my house to yours
Gmaj7Gmaj7 D/ED/E A augmentedA
How do I know? I count them everyday
Amaj7Amaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7 D6D6 Dmaj7Dmaj7
While following you from my house to yours
Gmaj7Gmaj7 C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7
And though you don't know I'm with you all the way
D/F#D/F# G+G Cmaj7Cmaj7
Wishing I could say “Stop! I love you, darlin' won't you stay”
Gmaj7Gmaj7 Am7Am7
But I always hang my head
Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 C/DC/D G+G
And count all the cracks in the sidewalk instead.
Seventeen streetlights stand in between my house and yours
How do I know? I count them every night
While tracing my steps from my house to yours
To the golden glow of your window light
Wish somehow you knew how long I've been in love with you
And wishin' I were dead
I count all the cracks in the sidewalk on my way home to bed.
