People were proud ...in Doubleback Alley, 
 Cm/Eb          G/D      Em6/C#  Cmaj7  G/B   G 
Neighbours were loud, but ever    so    pal - ly, 
  Am                  Bm                 C 
People would shout, joking about...the smoke and the soot,

We had a good time ...in Doubleback Alley, 
     Cm/Eb      G/D       Em6/C# Cmaj7  G/B    G        Am 
With fences to climb, and Father   O' - Mal - ley...to clip your ear, 
     Bm                         C              D4         D 
And steer you clear ...of the funny man in the ice cream van,  
     Em                D7 
Who talked so queer!

Plenty to do ...in Doubleback Alley, 
Cm/Eb       G/D      Em6/C#  Cmaj7  G/B   G 
Play peek-a-boo with Saccha - rine  Sal - ly, 
   Am               Bm 
Bouncing a ball ...against a wall, 
   C                  D4               D      Em                   D7 
Showing her drawers, "You! Come in - doors!", her dad would call!  ^ ^

Grinning a grin ...in Double - back  Al - ley, 
 Bm             C#m              D 
Kick a dustbin, bingo to win, windows to break,
