#1.
Db     Abm
Now my room has got two windows but the sunshine never 

comes through.
Abm
You know it's always dark and dreary..since I broke off, 

baby, with you.
            Db                       Abm
I live on a lonely avenue..my little girl wouldn't say, 

I do.
        Eb                             Db             Abm
Well, I feel so sad and blue..and it's all because of you.

CHORUS:
        Eb                                     Db
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry..I could die, I could 

die, I could die.
                    Ab        Abm
Because I live on a lonely avenue..lonely avenue.

#2.
Abm                           Db          Ab
Now, my covers they feel like lead and my pillow, it feels like 

stone.
           Db         Abm
Well, I've tossed and turned so every night, I'm not used to 

being alone.
            Db                       Abm
I live on a lonely avenue..my little girl wouldn't say, 

I do.
        Eb                             Db             Abm
Well, I feel so sad and blue..and it's all because of you.

CHORUS:
        Eb                                     Db
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry..I could die, I could 

die, I could die.
                    Ab        
Because I live on a lonely avenue..lonely avenue.

Now, I've been so sad and lonesome..since you've left this town.
                                             Ab
You know if I could beg or borrow the money, child, I would be 

A-highway bound.
            Db                       Abm           Db
