I have never posted a song before, but I have used this site regularly for

many years. After looking at all the versions here of this song and some of

the chord names were not right I decided it was time to put back. This how

I play it. The chord names are correct. Standard shapes. In my opinion it

sounds fuller. This just my interpretation of the song, but I think you will

find that you can play it dead on with the various versions of the song

you will find out there. And it is easier than trying to mute strings up

around the 5th-7th frets. The voicing is obviously different from the

original.
One odd chord: A*= Aadd9 flat5 = x0120x
Sideways by Citizen Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) Easy Version

[Intro]
Em Dsus2 A* Dsus2
Em Dsus2 A* Dsus2

[Verse 1]
Em Dsus2
You know it ain't easy For these thoughts here to leave me
A* Dsus2
There're no words to describe it In French or in English
Am Em
'Cause diamonds they fade
A* Dsus2
And flowers they bloom And I'm telling you

[Chorus 1]
Am
That these feelings won't go away
Em
They've been knockin' me sideways
A*
They've been knockin' me out lately
Dsus2
Whenever you come around me
Am
These feelings won't go away
Em
They've been knockin' me sideways
A*
I keep thinking in a moment that
Dsus2
Time will take them away
Am Dsus2 A*
But these feelings won't go away
Am Dsus2 A*
These feelings won't go away

[Verse 2]
Am Dsus2
It ain't easy For these thoughts here to leave me
A* Dsus2
There're no words to describe it In French or in English
Am Em
'Cause diamonds they fade
