Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "Living Next Door To Alice" oleh Smokie.
A D
Sally called when she got the word
E A E
And she said: "I suppose you've heard about Alice".
A
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
D E
and I could hardly believe my eyes
E A E
And the big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive
[Chorus]
A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go
D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know
E A E
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
E D A E
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
[Verse 2]
A D
We grew up together, two kids in the park
E A E
We carved our initials, deep in the bark me and Alice
A
Now she walks to the door with her head held high
D
Just for a moment I caught her eye
E A E
As the limousine pulls out, of Alice's drive
[Kembali ke Chorus]
[Verse 3]
A D
Then Sally called back and asked how I felt,
E A E
And she said: "I know how to help get over Alice"
A
She said: "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
D E
you know I've been waiting for twenty-four years"
And the big limousine disappeared
[Kembali ke Chorus]
[Outro]
E D A
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
