[Verse 1]
          G                   C/G               G   C/G   G
Well, I'm caught one more time, up on Cyprus Avenue
C/G                               G         C/G   G
   Caught one more time, up on Cyprus Avenue
D                                 C/G
   And I'm conquered in a car seat
                 G       C/G   G   D
Not a thing that I can do
[Verse 2]
G           G7   C/G           G                  C/G   G
   I may go crazy, before that mansion on the hill
C/G              G   C/G               G
   I may go crazy, before that mansion on the hill
D                             C/G
   But my heart keeps beating faster
G  C/G               G         D
   And my feet can't keep still
[Verse 3]
G                                     C/G            G                 C/G    G
   And all the little girls rhyme something, on the way back home from school
C/G                                                          G             C/G   G
   And all the little girls rhyme something, on the way back home from school
D                            C/G
   And the leaves fall one by one
                     G         C/G   G   D
And call the autumn time a fool
[Verse 4]
G                         C/G   G                   C/G                G
   Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied, every, every, every time I try to speak
C/G                      G             C/G        G
   My tongue gets tied, every time I try to speak
D           D7  C/G
   And my inside shakes
                          G   C/G   G   D
Just like a leaf on a tree
[Verse 5]
             G            C/G                          G    C/G   G
I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry, cherry wine
                  C/G                                              G  C/G  G
I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
     D                         C/G
If I pass the rumbling station
                                  G   C/G G             D
where the lonesome engine drivers pine,    wait a minute,
[Verse 6]
             G     C/G          G C/G     G
yonder come my lady, rainbow ribbons in her hair
      C/G                                   G   C/G  G
Yonder come my lady, rainbow ribbons in her hair
          D                   D7   C/G
Six white horses and a carriage
                             G C/G     G                      D
She's returning from the fair,  baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
[Verse 7]
      G                   C/G                G     C/G  G
Well, I'm caught one more time, up on Cyprus Avenue   Oh, Yes I am
C/G                                    G           C/G   G
   Love, Caught one more time, up on Cyprus Avenue
D                                 C/G
   And I'm conquered in a car seat
                   G           C/G   G   D
And I'm looking straight at you
[Outro]
       G C/G        G C/G
Way up on, way up on,  way up on, way up on
G                                           C/G                                    G

C/G         G           C/G  G  C/G  G            C/G
     The avenue of trees              keep walking down
C/G  G                    C/G          G
      In the wind and the rain, darling
               C/G                 G                      C/G   G
You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees
  C/G  G            C/G       G
Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody
C/G                        G    C/G   G
  Stops me from loving you baby
             C/G G     C/G G        C/G    G
So young and bold, fourteen-year old
C/G
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
