Smokie "Living next door to Alice"
This is my first tab that I have ever done so just bear with me.
This should be exact as I have played it along with the cd and it sounds
100% right. The timing of this tab is 4/4. And I hope you enjoy this song.
Verse 1
A D
Sally called and she got the word.
E A E
She said I suppose you've heard, about alice.
A
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside

I could hardly believe my eyes.

And the big limosine pulled up, in alices drive.
