Chords for Tim Moore - Second Avenue - [STEREO]

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ Welcome to Flashback [A#] Favorites.
I'm Music Mike.
Thanks for joining me again.
[G] Here's a guy that spent lots of time in various different bands around the Philadelphia area in the [G#m] early 70s.
He was also a staff writer and session musician for some of the great soul producers in Philly, like Tom Bell and Gamble & Huff.
He's written many songs himself and various artists have recorded them, [F] like the Bay City Rollers with Rock & Roll Love Letter.
In 1974, he released this [N] debut LP and his single, but so did another artist at about the same time.
That guy was Art Garfunkel, and Art's version actually did a little bit better on the charts.
The song is Second Avenue, and here's the songwriter's version that made it to number 58 from Tim Moore on Flashback [E] Favorites.
Since [B] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
we can no longer [F#m] make it, girl, I [E] found a new place to [A] live my life.
[E] _
It's really no place [C] at all, just a hole [G] in the wall, you see.
_ [D] _ It's cold and dusty, but [E] I'll let it _ [C#] be.
_ [A] Living here without you on _ [B] Second Avenue.
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [E] And since our stars took [F#m] different paths, I guess I won't be shaving in your [F#m] looking glass.
_ [E] Guess my old friendly [C] grin must [D] have started [G] to dim somehow, _ [D] _
and I certainly don't [C#m] need it now.
_ [F#m] _
Still I keep smiling too, _ _ [A] _
on [B] Second [E] Avenue.
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] I can still see you [G#m] standing _ _ [F#m] there on the third [C#m] floor landing, _ _ [F#m] the day you visited [B] _
the Harley [E] Silver.
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ Outside it [G#m] was raining, _ _ [F#m] you said you couldn't be [C#m]
staying.
You went [F#m] back to your flowers and your [A] _ _ _ _ _
[B] birds.
_ [E] Since we can no longer [F#m] see the [F#m] light, _ [E] the way we did when we [A] kissed that night.
_ [E] Then all the things that we [C] felt [D] must eventually [G] melt and fade, _ [D]
like the frost on [C#m] my [E] windowpane.
_ [A] _
Where I wrote I am you, _ _ [B]
on Second [E] Avenue. _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ [A] I can still see [G#m] you standing _ [F#m] there on the third floor [C#m]
landing, [F#m] _ _ the day you visited [B] the _ Harley [E] Silver.
_ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ Outside [G#m] it was raining, _ _ [F#m] you said you couldn't be [C#m] staying.
You went [F#m] back _ to your flowers and your [A] _ _ _ birds.
_ [B] _ _ [E] Since we can no longer [F#m] see the light, _ the way we did when [A] we kissed that [A] night.
[E] Then all the things that we [C] felt must [D] eventually [G] melt and fade, [D] _
like the frost on my [C#m] windowpane.
_ [F#m] _
Where I wrote I am you, _ _ [A] on Second [B] _ [E] Avenue.
