Lyrics
Now, my (F7)room ers, has got two win dows,
but the sun low, shine nev er comes through.
You know it’s al ways dark so and the ’ry drea ry child, since I broke off, ba by, with you.
I live on a (Bb9)lone ly av e nue;
my lit tle girl would n’t say, “I do.”
Well, I (F7)feel so sad and blue,
and it’s all be cause of you.
I could (C7)cry, I could cry, I could cry,
I could (Bb7)die, I could die, I could die be cause I live on a (F7)lone ly av e nue,
lone ly av e nue.
Now, my (F7)cov ers, they feel like lead, some
and my pil low, it feels er like stone.
Well, I I’ve tossed and turned row ev the ’ry night; ey, child, I’m not used to be ing a lone.
I live on a (Bb9)lone ly av e nue;
my lit tle girl would n’t say, “I do.”
Well, I (F7)feel so sad and blue,
and it’s all be cause of you.
I could (C7)cry, I could cry, I could cry,
I could (Bb7)die, I could die, I could die be cause I live on a (F7)lone ly av e nue,
lone ly av e nue.
Now, I’ve lone ly av e nue.
