WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Walt Wilkins - Our Lady Of The Avenue Ukulele | Ver. 1
Walt Wilkins is a singer/songwriter from the Texas Hill Country (who's also done
some time in Nashville)--one of the unsung (pun intended) great songwriters, in my
opinion! This is one of my favorites of his.
Our Lady Of The Avenue
(from the album Fire, Honey and Angels)
-Walt Wilkins
Intro: Csus2 Csus4 C
G Csus2 Csus4 C
We come from the valleys, we come from the fields
G Csus2 Csus4 C
We start rolling in here just after three
Dm G
We approach as to an altar
Dm G Csus2 Csus4 C
With daily needs and gifts to offer our lady of the avenue
She brings salvation one glass at a time
Her congregation is slowly sanctified
We still believe in Jesus
But she's the one who heals us, our lady of the avenue
Fsus2 C
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
Fsus2 G
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?
Csus2 Csus4 C
G Csus2 Csus4 C
She graces us each with quiet understanding
G Csus2 Csus4 C
Of the burdens we bear in these lives we've been handed
Dm G
Fulfilling as she listens
Dm G Csus2 Csus4 C
We're safe in her commission, our lady of the avenue
Fsus2 C
Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear?
Fsus2 G
With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here?
Csus2 Csus4 C (x2)
G Csus2 Csus4 C
Every night, I tell her that I love her
G Csus2 Csus4 C
She calls me a ride, she won't serve me another
Dm G
But she smiles at my confession
Dm G Csus2 Csus4 C
And that's a fitting benediction from our lady of the avenue
Csus2 Csus4 C
She's our lady of the avenue
Csus2 Csus4 C
Our lady of the avenue
Csus2 Csus4 C (to fade)
