Intro: A5  A5  A5

E5                                          A5  A5  A5
We come from the valleys, we come from the fields
E5                                   A5  A5  A5
We start rolling in here just after three
B5                   E5
We approach as to an altar
B5                            E5                            A5   A5   A5
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

D5                           A5
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
D5                                   E5
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?

A5  A5  A5

E5                                          A5  A5  A5
She graces us each with quiet understanding
E5                                   A5  A5  A5
Of the burdens we bear in these lives we've been handed
B5                   E5
Fulfilling as she listens
B5                            E5                            A5   A5   A5
We're safe in her commission, our lady of the avenue

D5                           A5
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
D5                                   E5
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?

A5  A5  A5 (x2)

E5                               A5  A5  A5
Every night, I tell her that I love her
E5                                        A5  A5  A5
She calls me a ride, she won't serve me another
B5                   E5
But she smiles at my confession
B5                            E5                            A5   A5   A5
And that's a fitting benediction from our lady of the avenue
A5   A5   A5
She's our lady of the avenue
A5   A5   A5
Our lady of the avenue

A5   A5   A5 (to fade)
