Smokie "Living next door to Alice"
This is my first tab that I have ever done so just bear with me.
This should be exact as I have played it along with the cd and it sounds
100% right. The timing of this tab is 4/4. And I hope you enjoy this song. 

Verse 1
A                                D
Sally called and she got the word.
                                E      A    E
She said I suppose you've heard, about alice.
       A
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
D                             E
I could hardly believe my eyes.
                                   A           E
And the big limosine pulled up, in alices drive.

Chorus.
      A
Oh, I dont know why she's leavin,

or where she's gunna go
  D
I guess she's got her reaons

but I just dont wanna know
          E                                      A    E
cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice
A
24 years just waiting for the chance
    D
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
       E                     E7                A   E
Now I gotta get used to not livin next door to alice

Verse2
A                                       D
We walked together, two kids in the park
                                          E       A    E
We inscribed our initials deep in the bark me and alice
        A
As she walks to the door with her head held high
D                                 E
just for a moment I caught her eye
                                A         E
As the limosine pulls out, of alices drive

Go back to Chorus.

And she said I know how to help, get over alice
              A
She said, now alice is gone, but im still here
