Biography:
Kevin Coyne (born 27 January 1944 in Derby, UK; died in his adopted home of Nuremberg, Germany, on 2 December 2004) was an English musician, singer, composer, film-maker, and a writer of lyrics, stories and poems. His uncompromising attitude towards showbiz fame and fortune always left him in a position of "outsider", a position he relished. The freedom to express himself without the chains of commercial considerations (although he would not have been adverse to a Number One album) helped keep his creativity alive.

JACKIE AND EDNA
KEVIN COYNE
INTRO:
D
VERSE:
D
You called me Jackie,
F#
I called you Edna
A
Sitting in the green arcade,
Laughing at the paper hats we've made
D
The white sea wall,
F#
The boarding house
A
Sitting round the table,
Your sister, mother, brother and little boy
D
Now I'm so lonely,
F#
Just a picture of you
A
Stuck up in my bedroom,
Everywhere I go I think of you
CHORUS:
Bm G
Why can't we go on darling like we did before?
Bm G
Life should be ever open, ever open door
Bm A G
Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone
A
They say you're married
With children of your own.
VERSE:
D
Call me Jackie,
F#
I called you Edna
A
The white seagulls around,
Circle breaking, what a sound
D
The big arcade,
F#
The noise inside
A
Seen you drift down the pier,
Oh how your great skirts glide.
D
You know it's right,
F#
It can't be wrong
A
Just two weeks, one summer,
Didn't last so very long
CHORUS:
Bm G
Why can't we go on darling like we did before?
Bm G
Life should be ever open, ever open door
Bm A G
Now I'm so lonely, lost and all alone
A
They say you're married
With children of your own.
VERSE:
D
Call me Jackie,
F#
Called you Edna
A
Now you're gone away,
Living somewhere, no-one will say
D
Not a line,
F#
A single card,
A
Sitting in this lonely room
Don't you know the times are hard
D
No work at all,
F#
No money too
A
Dreaming, dreaming dreams,
Lonesome dreams with tales of you
CHORUS:
Bm G
Why can't we go on darling like we did before?
Bm G
Life should be an ever open, ever open door
Bm G
Now I'm so lonely and lost and all alone
A
They say you're married
D A D
With children of your own.
