                JACKIE AND EDNA
                  KEVIN COYNE
INTRO:
D
VERSE:
You called me JDackie, 
 F#I called you Edna 
 ASitting in the green arcade, 
Laughing at the paper hats we've made 
 DThe white sea wall, 
 F#The boarding house 
 ASitting round the table, 
Your sister, mother, brother and little boy 
 DNow I'm so lonely,
 F#Just a picture of you 
 AStuck up in my bedroom, 
Everywhere I go I think of you 
CHORUS: 
 BmWhy can't we go on darling lGike we did before? 
 BmLife should be ever open, Gever open door 
 BmNow I'm so lonely, lAost and all alGone 
 AThey say you're married 
With children of your own. 
VERSE:
 DCall me Jackie, 
 F#I called you Edna 
 AThe white seagulls around, 
Circle breaking, what a sound 
 DThe big arcade, 
 F#The noise inside
 ASeen you drift down the pier, 
Oh how your great skirts glide. 
 DYou know it's right, 
 F#It can't be wrong 
 AJust two weeks, one summer, 
Didn't last so very long 
CHORUS: 
 BmWhy can't we go on darling lGike we did before? 
 BmLife should be ever open, Gever open door 
 BmNow I'm so lonely, lAost and all alGone 
 AThey say you're married 
With children of your own. 
VERSE:
 DCall me Jackie, 
 F#Called you Edna 
 ANow you're gone away, 
Living somewhere, no-one will say 
 DNot a line, 
 F#A single card, 
 ASitting in this lonely room 
Don't you know the times are hard 
 DNo work at all, 
 F#No money too 
DAreaming, dreaming dreams, 
Lonesome dreams with tales of you 
CHORUS: 
 BmWhy can't we go on darling lGike we did before? 
 BmLife should be an ever open, Gever open door 
 BmNow I'm so lonely and lGost and all alone 
 AThey say you're married 
With chDildren of your oAwn. D

JACKIE AND EDNA

KEVIN COYNE

INTRO:

VERSE:

You called me Jackie,

I called you Edna

Sitting in the green arcade,

Laughing at the paper hats we've made

The white sea wall,

The boarding house

Sitting round the table,

Your sister, mother, brother and little boy

Now I'm so lonely,

Just a picture of you

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

They say you're married

With children of your own.

VERSE:

Call me Jackie,

I called you Edna

The white seagulls around,

Circle breaking, what a sound

The big arcade,

The noise inside

Seen you drift down the pier,

Oh how your great skirts glide.

You know it's right,

It can't be wrong

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

They say you're married

With children of your own.

VERSE:

Call me Jackie,

Called you Edna

Now you're gone away,

Living somewhere, no-one will say

Not a line,

A single card,

Sitting in this lonely room

Don't you know the times are hard

No work at all,

No money too

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

They say you're married

D A D

With children of your own.
