Guitar Chords: Living Next Door To Alice

Guitar Chords for the song Living Next Door To Alice by Smokie from the album The Other Side of The Road.


A
Sally called when she got the word,
D                                      E
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -
A
About Alice".
A
When I rushed to the window,
A
And I looked outside,
D
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
E
As a big limousine rolled up
     A
Into Alice's drive...

E     A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
D
I guess she's got her reasons,
D
But I just don't want to know,
         E
'Cos for twenty-four years
                              A      E
I've been living next door to Alice. 
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         E                      D                   A        E
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

A
We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
D
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,
E      A     E
Me and Alice.
A
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
D
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
E
As a big limousine pulled slowly
       A             E
Out of Alice's drive.

      A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
  D
I guess she's got her reasons,
D
But I just don't want to know,
         E
'Cos for twenty-four years
                              A      E
I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
   D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
      E                     D                   A        E
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

A
And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
D
And she said: "I know how to help -
E        A      E
Get over Alice".
E              A
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
D
You know I've been waiting
D
For twenty-four years..."
E
And a big limousine dissapeared...

  A  
I don't know why she's leaving,
A
Or where she's gonna go,
  D
I guess she's got her reasons,
D
But I just don't want to know,
         E
'Cos for twenty-four years
                              A      E
I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
   D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         E                     D                   A        E
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
         E                     D                   A        D A
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
