Smokie is an English pop rock band from Bradford who found success in Europe and the U.S. in the 70s. They formed in 1966 in Yorkshire, England and did some early records under the name "Smokey". The band broke into the mainstream after teaming up with songwriters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, artists known for also working with Pat Benatar and Sweet among others. Smokie is perhaps best known for "Living Next Door to Alice", one of their top hits that was a U.K. top 5 single.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Not a difficult song. However, it has very interesting rhytm. It`s kind of confusing to and sing at the same time. (Well, at first rate anyway)
That`s the way I play it, hope you enjoy it! :) any suggestions and corrections: [email protected]

When the wind is howling and the rain comes down And you lie awake without a sound Feel like I'm living with a stranger When I try to hold you and you turn away There seems so little left for me to say Oh Lord knows you look just like a stranger
So just in case you've changed your mind You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong And just in case you find the time You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong But stranger you're in danger Of losing me Oh stranger you're in danger Of losing me
