John Prine - The Other Side of Town Chords

[Opening]
[D]Why must you always seem to critic[A]ize me
Seems like everything I do just turns out [D]wrong
Why don’t you come on out and des[G]pise me
So I could [A]pack my bag and baby I’d be [D]gone

[verse 2]
[D]Remember when you used to call me [A]honey
Well, I’d turn around and call you honey [D]too
You might think it’s a joke, but it ain’t [G]funny
To [A]hurt someone who’s so in love with [D]you

[chorus]
A [D]clown puts his makeup on, upside [A]down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D]frown
You might think I’m here when you [G]put me down
But [A]actually, I’m on, the other [D]side of town

[verse 3]
My [D]body’s in this room with you just [A]catching hell
While my soul is drinking beer down the [D]road a spell
You might think I’m listening to your [G]grocery list
But I’m [A]leaning on the jukebox and I’m [D]about half way there

[chorus]
A [D]clown puts his makeup on, upside [A]down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D]frown
You might think I’m here when you [G]put me down
But [A]actually, I’m on, the other [D]side of town

[verse 4]
I’m [D]sittin’ on a chair just be‐ [A]hind my ear
Playing dominoes and drinking some [D]ice cold beer
When you get done talking I’ll come [G]back downstairs
And [A]assume the body of the person you pre[D]sume who cares

[chorus]
A [D]clown puts his makeup on, upside [A]down
So he wears a smile even when he wears a [D]frown
You might think I’m here when you [G]put me down
But [A]actually, I’m on, the other [D]side of town

[Closing]
I’m [A]across the river on, the other [D]side of town
In my [A]mind I’m on, the other [D]side of town [D] [C#] [D]
