A
Sally called and she got the word.
D E A E
She said I suppose you've heard..............About Alice...
A
When I rushed to the window and I looked the outside,
D
I could hardly believe my eyes.
E A E
The big limosine hold up into Alice's driver...
Refrain :__________________________________________________
A
I don't know why she's leaving and whee she's going to go.
D
I guess she's got reasons, but I just don't want to know.
E A E
Just for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice......
A
24 years just waiting for a chance
D
to tell her how I fell and maybe get a second glance.
E E7 A E
Now, I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
____________________________________________________________
A
We walk together, two kids in the park.
D E A E
???? ?? ??? (I Can't get them),deep in the ???......Been Alice.
A
As she walks to the door and keep her hand high..
D
Just fo a moment, I cought her eyes.
E A E
As the big limosine move slowly, out of Alice's driver...
Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last E )...
A
And Sally called back and ask how I felt.
D E A E
And she said I know how to help.........Get over Alice...
A
She said now Alice has gone but I'm still here...
D
You know I've been waiting 24 years....
E (Riff#2)
The big limosine disappeared.........
Refrain....
E E7 A (EndRiff)
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.....

.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SMOKIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
