SIX BLOCKS AWAY (Lucinda Williams)
----------------------------------
[Actually in D; capo at the 2nd fret]
C F C F C F G G
[intro]
Am G
He sleeps all alone on 2nd Street
Am G
With a roof over his head and food to eat
C F
But he can hardly make it day to day cuz
C F F G G
Everything he wants is six blocks away, six blocks away
He's got a regular job and it pays the rent
In a donut shop on 3rd and 10th
But he doesn't understand why she turned him away
He can hear her heart beat six blocks away, six blocks away
C F
Six blocks away, dirty old street
C F
Six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
C F
Six blocks away, dirty old street
C F F G G
Six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat six blocks away
[Guitar solo; same chords as verse]
He walks real fast down the dirty street
He turns his eyes from the people he meets
It hurts so bad, what can he say
He sends her a message six blocks away, six blocks away
Six blocks away, dirty old street; six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away, dirty old street; six blocks away, he can hear her heart beat
Six blocks away
C F C F
Six blocks away
C F C F C F C F C F C.
