Living Next Door To Alice Uke tab by Smokie

Sally called when she got the word
C                                 D     G      D     
She said I suppose you've heard - About Alice 
       G
Well I rushed to the window, well I looked outside
C                               D7
I could hardly believe my eyes, as a big limousine
          G                 D
rolled up to Alice?s drive 

G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
  C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
         D                                               G   D7
'Cos for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice 
G                                           C
Twenty four years waiting for the chance to tell her how I feel
                                        D
And maybe get a second glance, now I've got to get used to 
    C                   G
not living next door to Alice

G
We grew up together, two kids in the park
C                                             D      G      D
We carved our initials - deep into the bark - Me and Alice
    G
Now she walks through the door, her head held high
C                                    D7
Just for a moment I caught her eye - The big limousine
       G                    D
Pulled out of Alice?s drive

G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
  C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
         D                                               G   D7

G
Sally called back and asked how I felt
C                                      D        G      D
And she said-Hey, I know how to help - get over Alice
    G
She said Alice is gone, but I'm still here
C                              D7
You know I've been waiting for twenty four years
                G                D
And the big limousine Disappeared

G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
  C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
         D                                               G   D7
