Chords

Original song by Leo Sayer and David Courtney [Verse 1]
A
Jeanette was a dancer

     Bm
I suppose I knew her well

C#m
Her feet danced miracles

      Bm
I was deep within her spell
[Verse 2]
A
Jeanette loved a singer

        Bm
Was the leader of some band

C#m
Looked just like a boy

    Bm
And stood just like a man
[Chorus]
       A        Bm       C#m E
And it rains on down the avenue

       A        Bm       C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue

         Bm      E
Just for you boy

         Bm      E
Just for you boy
[Verse 3]
A
The kids in the back street cry

               Bm
You hear their voices in your brain

C#m
The world is full of hungry souls

  Bm
Behind the windowpanes
[Verse 4]
A
Little Jenny on the high wire

     Bm
Slow motion as she fell

C#m
Sometimes I think the wire is me

    Bm
The tragedy as well
[Chorus]
       A        Bm       C#m E
And it rains on down the avenue

       A        Bm       C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue

         Bm      E
Just for you boy

         Bm      E
Just for you boy

         Bm      E
Just for you
[Verse 5]
A
I work on the west side

   Bm
Jeanette I pulled your strings

C#m
I stood upon the pavement

  Bm
I never owned a thing
[Verse 6]
A
And still I am the singer

  Bm
I know my song so well

C#m
The rain falls through my eyes

    Bm
And lands below the shell
[Chorus]
       A        Bm       C#m E
And it rains on down the avenue

       A        Bm       C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue

         Bm      E
Just for you boy

         Bm      E
Just for you boy

         Bm      E
Just for you
