VERSE: D You called me Jackie, F# I called you Edna A Sitting in the green arcade, Laughing at the paper hats we've made D The white sea wall, F# The boarding house A Sitting round the table, Your sister, mother, brother and little boy D Now I'm so lonely, F# Just a picture of you A Stuck up in my bedroom, Everywhere I go I think of you CHORUS: Bm G Why can't we go on darling like we did before? Bm G Life should be ever open, ever open door Bm A G Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone A They say you're married With children of your own. VERSE: D Call me Jackie, F# I called you Edna A The white seagulls around, Circle breaking, what a sound D The big arcade, F# The noise inside A Seen you drift down the pier, Oh how your great skirts glide. D You know it's right, F# It can't be wrong A Just two weeks, one summer, Didn't last so very long CHORUS: Bm G Why can't we go on darling like we did before? Bm G Life should be ever open, ever open door Bm A G Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone A They say you're married With children of your own. VERSE: D Call me Jackie, F# Called you Edna A Now you're gone away, Living somewhere, no-one will say D Not a line, F# A single card, A Sitting in this lonely room Don't you know the times are hard D No work at all, F# No money too A Dreaming, dreaming dreams, Lonesome dreams with tales of you CHORUS: Bm G Why can't we go on darling like we did before? Bm G Life should be an ever open, ever open door Bm G Now I'm so lonely and lost and all alone A They say you're married D A D With children of your own. OUTRO: F# D La la la la la la la
