Intro: A9  A4  A

E                                          A9  A4  A
We come from the valleys, we come from the fields
E                                   A9  A4  A
We start rolling in here just after three
Bm                   E
We approach as to an altar
Bm                            E                            A9   A4   A
With daily needs and gifts to offer our lady of the avenue

She brings salvation one glass at a time
Her congregation is slowly sanctified
We still believe in Jesus
But she's the one who heals us, our lady of the avenue

D9                           A
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
D9                                   E
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?

E                                          A9  A4  A
She graces us each with quiet understanding
E                                   A9  A4  A
Of the burdens we bear in these lives we've been handed
Bm                   E
Fulfilling as she listens
Bm                            E                            A9   A4   A
We're safe in her commission, our lady of the avenue

D9                           A
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
D9                                   E
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?

A9  A4  A (x2)

E                               A9  A4  A
Every night, I tell her that I love her
E                                        A9  A4  A
She calls me a ride, she won't serve me another
Bm                   E
But she smiles at my confession
Bm                            E                            A9   A4   A
And that's a fitting benediction from our lady of the avenue
A9   A4   A
She's our lady of the avenue
A9   A4   A
Our lady of the avenue
