Half a Mile Away – Billy Joel Song Chord/Tab and Lyric

VERSE 1

Little Gio is a friend of mine
We get some money and we buy a cheap [Abadd9/Bb]wine
Sit on the corner and have a hol – i – day
Hide the bottle when the cop goes by
Talk about women and lie, lie, lie
Oh, my other world is just a [Ebmaj7/F]half a mile away

BRIDGE 1

Bb Gm Eb – C7/E F (x2)
Oo-oo Oo-oo Oo – oo – oo – oo

VERSE 2

Wait for mamma to turn out the light
Crawl on the the roof and then hit the ni[Abadd9/Bb]ght
I should be sleeping but tonight I[-] just can't stay
I've given everybody so much time
Now I need a moment that's m – - ine
Oh, my other world is just a [Ebmaj7/F]half a mile away

Angelina save a place for me
I've been livin' someone else's life and now I've got to [Abadd9/Bb]be free
Turn your transistor on and let th[-]e music play
I try to keep the family satisfied
But there's gotta be more to life than just try, try, try
Oh, my other world is just a [Ebmaj7/F]half a mile away
