The Avenue by Miles Calder & The Rumours
The Avenue
Capo: 5th fret
[Intro]
C C/B Am C/B (4x)
[Verse 1]
C C/B Am C/B C
I can’t wait another day,
C C/B Am C/B C
For your light to shine my way,
C C/B Am F
And you can fill your boots on me babe
G C
From this path I will not stray,
C C/B Am C/B C
And if you’re heading out to sea,
C C/B Am F
Bring some of that glory back for me,
G C C7
Just for me,
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am
Oowee, I fell in love with the city,
F G C C7
Weeoo, You know it’s true,
F G C C/B Am
Oowee, although the countryside’s so pretty I just,
F G C
Can not leave the avenue.
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am C/B C
I woke up, you woke up, and we were gone,
C C/B Am C/B C
Whatever we had that bird has flown,
C C/B Am F
And now you can’t afford to roam,
G C
Too much waiting for you at home,
C C/B Am C/B C
And all the kids we thought we knew,
C C/B Am F
Have now worn holes into their shoes,
C C/B Am C/B C C7
Through which they’re picking up all their blues,
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am
Oowee, I fell in love with the city,
F G C C7
Weeoo, You know it’s true,
F G C C/B Am
Oowee, although the countryside’s so pretty I just,
F G C
Can not leave the avenue.
[Verse 3]
C C/B Am C/B C
Everybody’s got a tale to tell,
C C/B Am C/B C
And if we never meet ourselves,
C C/B Am F
How do we have a hope in hell,
G C
Of living right before the knockout bell,
C C/B Am C/B C
If we stop moving you say we’re gonna die,
C C/B Am F
You’re hearing the cracks of thin, thin ice,
G C C7
And ever pointed forward are your eyes,
[Chorus]
F G C C/B Am
Believe me honey, I fell in love with the city,
F G C C7
And before you I did not feel blue,
F G C C/B Am
Speak it true, and if you and this place are through,
F G C F
Oh it’s goodbye, I can not hope to follow you, oh no no,
F G C
I just can’t leave the avenue.
