Living Next Door To Alice:Smokie.
#5 in UK and #2 in USA in 1976.
#1. (Capo 7th fret for original.)
DSally called when she got the word,
GAnd she said: "I suppose yoAu've A7heard - ADbout AAlice".
AWell, I Drushed to the window, and I looked outside,
Gand I could hardly believe my eyes - as a Abig limousine
rolled up into Alice's DdriveA.
CHORUS:
Oh, I Ddon't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I Gguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for Atwenty-four years I've been living next door
to DAliceA7.
DTwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Gtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I've Agot to get used to not Gliving next door to DAliceA7.
#2.
We Dgrew up together, two kids in the park.
We Gcarved our initials, deep in the bark.
AMe...and DAliceA7.
Now she Dwalks through the door, with her head held high,
Gjust for a moment, I caught her eye, as the Abig limousine
pulled slowly out of Alice's DdriveA7.
CHORUS:
Oh, DI don't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I Gguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for Atwenty-four years I've been living next door
to DAliceA7.
DTwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Gtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
now I've Agot to get used to not Gliving next door to DAliceA7.
#3.
Then DSally called back and asked how I felt,
GAnd she said: "I know how to hAelpA7..you..get DoverA7 Alice".
She said: "D;Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
you Gknow I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
And the A7big limousine Ddissapeared...
CHORUS:
Oh, DI don't know why she's leaving, or where she's
gonna go.
I Gguess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
to know.
Cause for Atwenty-four years I've been living next door
to DAliceA7.
DTwenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
to Gtell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll Anever get used to not Gliving next Adoor to DAlice...
OUTRO:
No, I'll Anever get used to not Gliving next Adoor to DAlice...
