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
F#m7b5 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 G Am F#m7b5
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
F#m7b5 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 G Am F#m7b5
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
F#m7b5 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 G Am F#m7b5
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
F#m7b5 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 G Am F#m7b5
And a custom tailored lady killer
F7 E7 Am
They called Sugar Man
