Intro
A D A E A D A E
A
And I'm caught one more time
D A D A
Up on Cyprus Avenue
D
Caught one more time
A D A
Up on Cyprus Avenue
E D
And I'm conquered in a car seat
A D A E
Not a thing that I can do
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
I may go crazy
Before that mansion on the hill
But my heart keeps beating faster
And my feet can't keep still
And all the little girls rhyme something
On the way back home from school
And all the little girls rhyme something
On the way back home from school
And the leaves fall one by one by one by one
Call the autumn time a fool
Yeah baby my tongue gets tied
Every every every time I try to speak
My tongue gets tied
Every time I try to speak
And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree
A E A D A D
I think I'll go walking by the rail - road with my cherry cherry wine
A D A D
I believe I'll go wal - king by the railroad with my cherry cherry wine
A E D A D
If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine
A E A
And wait a minute, yonder comes my lady
D A D A
Rainbow rib - bo - ns in her hair
D
Yonder come my lady
A D A
Rainbow ribbons in her hair
E
Six white horses and a carriage
D A D
Just returning from the fair
A E
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe
A D
Alone I'm caught one more time
A D
Way up on Cyprus A - venue, oh
A D
Yes I am, yeah
A D A
I caught one more time up on Cyprus Avenue wohhhh
E
And I'm conquered in a car seat
D A D
And I'm looking straight at you
A E
Way up on, way up on, way up on....
The avenue of trees
Keep walking down
Inthe wind and the rain, darling
You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees
Nobody, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby
So young and bold, fourteen years old
Baby, baby, baby...
Ooooh-ee
