Living Next Door to Alice Smokie
Living Next Door To Alice:Smokie.
[D]Sally called when she got the word,
[G]And she said: "I suppose you've [A]heard[A7] - About [D]Alice"[A].
[A]Well, I [D]rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
[G]and I could hardly believe my eyes - as a [A]big limousine
rolled up into Alice's [D]drive[A].
CHORUS:
Oh, I [D]don't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I [G]guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for [A]twenty-four years I've been living next door
to [D]Alice[A7].
[D]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to [G]tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I've [A]got to get used to not [G]living next door to [D]Alice[A7].
We [D]grew up together, two kids in the park.
We [G]carved our initials, deep in the bark.
[A]Me...and [D]Alice[A7].
Now she [D]walks through the door, with her head held high,
[G]just for a moment, I caught her eye, as the [A]big limousine
pulled slowly out of Alice's [D]drive[A7].
CHORUS:
Oh, [D]I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I [G]guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for [A]twenty-four years I've been living next door
to [D]Alice[A7].
[D]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to [G]tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I've [A]got to get used to not [G]living next door to [D]Alice[A7].
Then [D]Sally called back and asked how I felt,
[G]And she said: "I know how to help..[A]you[A7]..get over [D]Alic[A7]e".
She said: "Now [D]Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
you [G]know I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
And the [A7]big limousine [D]dissapeared...
CHORUS:
Oh, [D]I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I [G]guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for [A]twenty-four years I've been living next door
to [D]Alice[A7].
[D]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to [G]tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll [A]never get used to not [G]living next [A]door to [D]Alice...
OUTRO:
No, I'll [A]never get used to not [G]living next [A]door to [D]Alice...
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
