Living Next Door To Alice - Smokie

Intro:
[G] [G]

Verse 1:
[G] Sally called when [G] she got the word.
[C] She said, “I [C] suppose you’ve heard [D] [D]... about [G] Alice” [D] 
Well I [G] rushed to the window and I [G] looked outside,
[C] And I could hardly [C] believe my eyes,
As a [D] big limousine rolled [D] up into [G] Alice’s drive [D7]

|Chorus:
|I [G] don’t know why she’s leaving or (G) where she’s gonna go
|I [C] guess she’s got her reasons but I [C] just don’t wanna know.
|’Cos for [D] twenty-four years I’ve been [D] living next door to [G] Alice. 
|(Alice? [D] Who the pluck is Alice?!)
|[G] Twenty-four years just [G] waiting for the chance
|To [C] tell her how I feel and maybe [C] get a second glance,
|Now I’ve [D] got to get used to not [C] living next door to [G] Alice. 
|(Alice? [D] Who the pluck is Alice?!)

Verse 2:
We [G] grew up together, two (G) kids in the park.
We [C] carved our initials [C] deep in the bark [D] [D]... me and [G] Alice [D] 
Now she [G] walks through the door with her [G] head held high,
[C] Just for a moment, I [C] caught her eye.
As a [D] big limousine pulled [D] slowly out of [G] Alice’s drive [D7]

Chorus:

Verse 3:
[G] And Sally called back and [G] asked how I felt,
[C] And she said "I [C] know how to help [D] [D]... get over [G] Alice." [D]
She said "Now [G] Alice is gone, but [G] I'm still here,
[C] You know I've been waiting for [C] twenty-four years"
[D*] And a big limousine disappeared...

Chorus:

Outro:
No I’ll [D*] never get used to not [C*] living next door to [G*] Alice.
