[C] She said, “I [C] suppose you’ve heard [D] [D]... about [G] Alice” [D] Well I [G] rushed to the window and I [G] looked outside, [C] And I could hardly [C] believe my eyes, As a [D] big limousine rolled [D] up into [G] Alice’s drive [D7] |Chorus: |I [G] don’t know why she’s leaving or (G) where she’s gonna go |I [C] guess she’s got her reasons but I [C] just don’t wanna know. |’Cos for [D] twenty-four years I’ve been [D] living next door to [G] Alice. |(Alice? [D] Who the pluck is Alice?!) |[G] Twenty-four years just [G] waiting for the chance |To [C] tell her how I feel and maybe [C] get a second glance, |Now I’ve [D] got to get used to not [C] living next door to [G] Alice. |(Alice? [D] Who the pluck is Alice?!) Verse 2: We [G] grew up together, two (G) kids in the park. We [C] carved our initials [C] deep in the bark [D] [D]... me and [G] Alice [D] Now she [G] walks through the door with her [G] head held high, [C] Just for a moment, I [C] caught her eye. As a [D] big limousine pulled [D] slowly out of [G] Alice’s drive [D7] Chorus: Verse 3: [G] And Sally called back and [G] asked how I felt, [C] And she said "I [C] know how to help [D] [D]... get over [G] Alice." [D] She said "Now [G] Alice is gone, but [G] I'm still here, [C] You know I've been waiting for [C] twenty-four years" [D*] And a big limousine disappeared...
