Sugar Man
Kris Kristofferson
key: Am
[Verse 1]
Am E7 Am A7
There are shadows on the sidewalks
Dm A7 Dm
Of the city streets at night
Dm Am
And the alleyways and ugly things
Fm7b5 E7
Are hidden from the light
Am E7 Am A7
And somewhere soon, my baby's
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
Gonna sell her soul again
Dm E7b9 Am Fm7b5
For a custom tailored lady killer
F7 E7 Am
They call Sugar Man
[Verse 2]
Am E7 Am A7
I searched the backstreet barrooms
Dm A7 Dm
And every cheap hotel
Dm Am
Asking for my baby
Fm7b5 E7
They all knew her well
Am E7 Am A7
Well, they said, she's out there working
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
For the wages of her sin
Dm E7b9 Am Fm7b5
And if you want to find your baby, Baby
F7 E7 Am
Look for Sugar Man
[Verse 3]
Am E7 Am A7
Well tonight I found her
Dm A7 Dm
On the sorry side of town
Dm Am
Lying cold upon the bed
Fm7b5 E7
Where she had laid her body down
Am E7 Am A7
I picked up the needle
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
that had fallen from her hand
Dm E7b9 Am Fm7b5
And stuck it through the money
F7 E7 Am
she had made for Sugar Man
[Verse 4]
Am E7 Am A7
There are shadows on the sidewalks
Dm A7 Dm
Of the city streets at night
Dm Am
And the alleyways and ugly things
Fm7b5 E7
Are hidden from the light
Am E7 Am A7
But the sun's gonna shine tomorrow
Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm
On some dirty gargage cans
Dm E7b9 Am Fm7b5
And a custom tailored lady killer
F7 E7 Am
They called Sugar Man
