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
I can hear the couple fighting right next door
their angry words sound clear through these thin walls.
Around midnight I heard him shout unfailthful one
And I knew right then the axe was gonna fall
It's because of me, it's because of me
I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
He said Baby don't you lie to me no more
And I'm listenin' through these thin walls in silent shame
As he called out my name, I was right next door
It's because of me, it's because of me
Because of me, it's because of me
Chorus
Oh, she was right next door, and I'm such a strong persuader
She was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breakin' hearts

At daybreak I hear him pack and say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her, but what would I say
It's because of me, it's because of me
Because of me, Young Bob
