#1. (Capo 7th fret for original.)
D (xx0232@1)         
Sally called when she got the word,
G (320003@1)                             A (x02220@1)  A7 (x02020@1)     D (xx0232@1)   AAnd (x02220@1)she said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice".
A (x02220@1)     DWell, (xx0232@1)I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
G (320003@1)                                       Aand (x02220@1)I could hardly believe my eyes - as a big limousine 
                       D (xx0232@1)  Arolled (x02220@1)up into Alice's drive.

CHORUS:
      DOh, (xx0232@1)I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's

gonna go.
  GI (320003@1)guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want 

to know.
          A (x02220@1)Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door 
   D (xx0232@1)  A7to (x02020@1)Alice.
DTwenty-four (xx0232@1)years just waiting for a chance,
   Gto (320003@1)tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         A (x02220@1)                    G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)  A7now (x02020@1)I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

#2.
   DWe (xx0232@1)grew up together, two kids in the park.
   G (320003@1)    
We carved our initials, deep in the bark.
A (x02220@1)      D (xx0232@1)  A7Me...and (x02020@1)Alice.
        DNow (xx0232@1)she walks through the door, with her head held high,
G (320003@1)                                         Ajust (x02220@1)for a moment, I caught her eye, as the big limousine 
                             D (xx0232@1)  A7pulled (x02020@1)slowly out of Alice's drive.

CHORUS:
    DOh, (xx0232@1)I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's

gonna go.
  GI (320003@1)guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want 

to know.
          A (x02220@1)Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door 
   D (xx0232@1)  A7to (x02020@1)Alice.
DTwenty-four (xx0232@1)years just waiting for a chance,

         A (x02220@1)                    G (320003@1)                 D (xx0232@1)  A7now (x02020@1)I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

     DThen (xx0232@1)Sally called back and asked how I felt,
G (320003@1)                                A (x02220@1)A7 (x02020@1)       D (xx0232@1) A7And (x02020@1)she said: "I know how to help..you..get over Alice".
               DShe (xx0232@1)said: "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
    Gyou (320003@1)know I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
        A7 (x02020@1)          DAnd (xx0232@1)the big limousine dissapeared...

CHORUS:
    DOh, (xx0232@1)I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's

gonna go.
  GI (320003@1)guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't want
