Lonely Avenue

I play it this way, but you could change

all the -2’s to 3’s and you would save some

breath and not have to jump around as much.

Either way a great song.

Now my room has got two win-dows

-2 -2 -4 -2 4 4 -2 -3’

But the sun-shine nev-er comes through

-3 4 -3 -4 -2 4 -2 -3’ -2

You know it’s al-ways dark and drea-ry

-2 -3 -4 -2 4 4 -2 -3’

Since I broke off, ba-by with you

-3 -3 4 -3 -4 -2 4 -2 -3’-2

I live on a lone-ly av-e-nue

-2 -3 -2 -4 -2 -2 4 -3’ -2

My lit-tle girl would-n’t say I do

-2 -2 -4 -2 4 -2 -3’-2

Well I feel so sad and blue

-2 -2 -4 -2 4 -2 -3’-2

And it’s all be-cause of you

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4

I could cry, I could cry, I could cry

Oh, I could die, I could die, I could die

-4’ -4 5 4 4 -4 -2 4 -2 -3’-2

‘Cus I live on a lone-ly av-e-nue

Now you know my cov-ers feel like lead

And my pil-low it feels like stone

Well, I’ve toss-ed and turned so ev-‘ry night

I’m not use to be-ing a-lone

I live on a lone-ly av-e-nue

My lit-tle girl would-n’t say I do

Well I feel so sad and blue

And it’s all be-cause of you

I could cry, I could cry, I could cry

Oh, I could die, I could die, I could die

‘Cus I live on a lone-ly av-e-nue

Now I’ve been so sad and lone-some

Since you’ve left this town

You know if I could beg or bor-row the mon-ey

Child, I would be a high-way bound

I live on a lone-ly ave-nue

My lit-tle girl wouldn’t say I do

Well I feel so sad and blue

And it’s all be-cause of you

I could cry, I could cry, I could cry

I could die, I could die, I could die

I live on a lone-ly ave-nue

Lone-ly ave-nue
