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.
Please email me with any corrections steve_schoeneman@yahoo.com
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

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
