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 http://www.waltwilkins.com Intro: Asus2 Asus4 A E Asus2 Asus4 A We come from the valleys, we come from the fields E Asus2 Asus4 A We start rolling in here just after three Bm E We approach as to an altar Bm E Asus2 Asus4 A 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 Dsus2 A Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear? Dsus2 E With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here? Asus2 Asus4 A E Asus2 Asus4 A She graces us each with quiet understanding E Asus2 Asus4 A Of the burdens we bear in these lives we've been handed Bm E Fulfilling as she listens Bm E Asus2 Asus4 A We're safe in her commission, our lady of the avenue Dsus2 A Of all the treasures in heaven, how could they let this one disappear? Dsus2 E With the whole wide world to travel, how the hell did she wind up here? Asus2 Asus4 A (x2) E Asus2 Asus4 A Every night, I tell her that I love her E Asus2 Asus4 A She calls me a ride, she won't serve me another Bm E But she smiles at my confession Bm E Asus2 Asus4 A And that's a fitting benediction from our lady of the avenue Asus2 Asus4 A She's our lady of the avenue Asus2 Asus4 A Our lady of the avenue Asus2 Asus4 A (to fade)
