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.
