Jeanette was a dancer

I suppose I knew her well

Her feet danced miracles

I was deep within her spell
[Verse 2]

Jeanette loved a singer
Bm
Was the leader of some band
C#m
Looked just like a boy
Bm
And stood just like a man
[Chorus]
A Bm C#m E
And it rains on down the avenue
A Bm C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue
Bm E
Just for you boy
Bm E
Just for you boy
[Verse 3]
A
The kids in the back street cry
Bm
You hear their voices in your brain
C#m
The world is full of hungry souls
Bm
Behind the windowpanes
[Verse 4]
A
Little Jenny on the high wire
Bm
Slow motion as she fell
C#m
Sometimes I think the wire is me
Bm
The tragedy as well
[Chorus]

And it rains on down the avenue
A Bm C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue

Just for you boy

Just for you boy

Just for you

I work on the west side
Bm
Jeanette I pulled your strings
C#m
I stood upon the pavement
Bm
I never owned a thing
[Verse 6]
A
And still I am the singer
Bm
I know my song so well
C#m
The rain falls through my eyes
Bm
And lands below the shell
[Chorus]

And it rains on down the avenue
A Bm C#m E
Yes it rains on down the avenue
Bm E
Just for you boy

Just for you boy

Just for you
