Right Next Door - Robert Cray

Transcribed by Steve Schoeneman using vi.
I think this is pretty much right on the solo, it gets hard to tell in places.

Cm Eb
I can hear the couple fighting right next door

F Eb Cm
their angry words sound clear through these thin walls.

Cm Eb
Around midnight I heard him shout unfailthful one

F Eb Cm
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall

Bb Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me

Cm Eb
I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low

F Eb Cm
He said Baby don't you lie to me no more

Cm Bb
And I'm listenin' through these thin walls in silent shame

F Eb Cm
As he called out my name, I was right next door

Bb Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me

Bb Cm
Because of me, it's because of me

Chorus

G# Bb Cm
Oh, she was right next door, and I'm such a strong persuader

G# Bb Cm
She was just another notch on my guitar

G# Bb Cm
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her

G# Bb Cm
In the silence I can hear their breakin' hearts

Eb Cm Bb G# G
Solo

Cm Eb
At daybreak I hear him pack and say goodbye

F Eb Cm
I can hear him slam the door and walk away

Cm Eb
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry

F Eb Cm
I should go to her, but what would I say

Bb Cm
It's because of me, it's because of me

Bb Cm
Because of me, Young Bob


Chorus x2
