A Hm
Jeanette was a dancer
C#m
Suppose I knew her well
Hm
Her feet danced miracles
I was deep within her spell
Jeanette loved a singer
Who was the leader of some band
Looked just like a boy
And stood just like a man
Refrain:
A
And it rains on
Hm
Down deep
C#m E E Hm C#m E
Avenue
Yes it rains on
Down deep
Avenue
Hm E
Just for you boy (x2)
The kids in the backstreet cried
The voices in your brain
A world full of hungry souls
Behind the window pane
Little Jenny on the high wire
So emotioned as she felt
Sometimes I think that the wires mean
The tragedy as well
Refrain.
I walked on the west-side
Jeanette I pulled your strings
I stood on the pavement
Never doing a thing
Still I’m a singer
I know my songs so well
The rain falls through my eyes
Lands below the share
Refrain.
