Jeanette was a dancer, [Bm] I suppose I knew her well.
[C#m] Her feet danced miracles, I [Bm] was deep within her spell.
[A] Jeanette loved to sing, was [Bm] the leader of some band.
[C#m]
Looked just like a boy, [Bm] and stood just like a man.
And [A] it rains on [B]
down the [C#m]
[E] avenue.
Yes, [A] it rains on [B]
down the [C#m]
avenue.
[E]
Just for [Bm]
you, boy.
[E]
Just for [Bm]
you, boy.
[E] The [A]
kids in the back street ride, [Bm]
the voices in your brain.
[C#m]
A world full of hungry souls [Bm] behind the window pane.
[A]
Little Jenny on the highway, emotion as she fell.
[C#m]
Sometimes I think of wire and green, [Bm] the tragedy is wet.
And it [A]
rains on [B]
down the [C#]
[E] avenue.

I stood on the pavement, [Bm] I never rolled a thing.

I'm a singer, [B] I know my song so well.
The [C#m]
wind falls through my eyes, [B] an empty road to share.
And [A] it rains on [B]
down the [C#]
avenue.
[E]
[F#] Yes, [A] it rains on [B]
down the [C#m] avenue.
Just [E]
[Bm] for you, boy.
