{t:Living next door to Alice}
{st:by Smokie}
[G]Sally called when she got the word
[C]She said I suppose you've heard [D]- About A[G]lice [D]
Well I [G]rushed to the window, well I looked outside
[C]I could hardly believe my eyes, [D7]As a big limousine
rolled up [G]to Alices drive[D]
{soc:}
[G]I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I [C]guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
'Cos for [D]twenty four years I've been living next door to [G]Alice [D7]
[G]Twenty four years waiting for the chance to [C]tell her how I feel
And maybe get a second glance, now I've [D]got to get used to
not [C]living next door to [G]Alice
{eoc:}
We grew up together,two kids in the park
We carved our initials - deep into the bark -Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door,her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye - The big limousine
Pulled out of Alices drive
{c:Chorus}
Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said-Hey, I know how to help - get over Alice
She said Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting for twenty four years
And the big limousine Disappeared
{c:Chorus}
{c:END on}

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.
