Ab7 Now my room has got two windows But the sunshine never comes through You know it's always dark and dreary Since I broke off, baby with you Ab7 I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue And it's all because of you [Chorus] Eb7 (I could cry, I could cry, I could cry) I could cry, I could cry, Oooh! Db7 (I could die, I cloud die, I could die) I need help from somebody Ab7 Because I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue) Oh yes sir! [Verse] Ab7 Now you now my cover feel like lead And my pillow feels like stone Well, I've tossed and turned so every night I'm not used to being alone Eb7 I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue You know it's all because of you [Chorus] Eb7 (I could cry, I could cry, I could cry) I could cry, I could cry, Oooh! Db7 (I could die, I cloud die, I could die) Ooh! Ab7 Because I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue) Yes, sir! (Lonely avenue) [Solo] | Ab7 | Ab7 | Db7 | Db7 | | Eb7 | Db7 | Ab7 | Ab7 | (Choir sings "Lonely avenue" on Ab7) [Verse] Ab7 Now I've been so sad and lonesome Since you left this town You know if I could beg of borrow money Child, I would be (a) highway bound Ab7 I live on a lonely avenue My little girl wouldn't say I do Well, I feel so sad and blue You know it's all because of you [Chorus] Eb7 (I could cry, I could cry, I could cry) I could cry, I could cry, Oooh! Db7 (I could die, I cloud die, I could die) Oooooo, yeaa Ab7 Because I live on a lonely avenue (Lonely avenue) Ooooh, avenue! (Lonely avenue) [Outro] Ab6 ************************************ | > Accented note | / Slide up | \ Slide down | ~ Vibrato | PM Palm mute ************************************
