 Twenty two Acacia Avenue

Ebm D C          D           Em
       Meet a lady that I know.
       You might even get it free.

Ebm D C                 D           Em
       So if you're looking for a good time
       so any time you're down at the east end

Ebm D C                  D              Em
       And you're prepared to pay the price
                   Don't you hesitate to go

Ebm D C         D             Em
       fifteen quid is all shee asks for
       you can take my honest word for it


Ebm D C                  D              Em
                 every body got their vice.
       She'll teach you more than can know.
