G C
* motel lights were blinkin'
2.We used to tell each other lies
* only song I ever knew
D G
1.On my chartreuse four-door Lincoln
* our orange plastic button eyes
* Moonlight Bay on the Avenue
C
1.On the dock the fish were stinkin'
2.In a former life on a motel chair
* are tales from the Devil's Chin
D G
1.I simply didn't have a care.
2.I was Charlie Parker's Teddy Bear
* I could've been a contender
C
* the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
*, me and Bird we'd stay up late
* the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
D G
* children hum their Christmas Carols
2.I used to watch him contemplate
* children hum their Christmas Carols
C
* train tracks all run parallel
* his horn would sit by the window and wait
* train tracks all run parallel
D G
* they'll all meet up one day
* it was time for him to blow it
* they'll all meet up one day
CHORUS:
G C
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
D G
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
C Am
He's waiting for the next poor fool
D G
Who forgot that it was Sunday
