A corner dive down on the square [Em] where the windows [C] hang with a neon flare
A regular [G] sheet horse and cool white barmaid wishes the place half full
She works the [D] jar with a discount [Em] flirt, a faded [C] Houston [Em] oiler shirt while an old [C] crow [D] sinks
[G] Down on the stage, stumming the chords on a crinkle [Em] page
She plays a Ziva tune [C] _ [Em] _ [D] beneath a gulf [G] moon

Take a walk down along the wall, [E] you go right on [C] past the carnival
[C] Hand in [D] hand with the keeper, [G] kind of kind that ties to the ties they're buying
Don't care for the carny man [Em] or the fortune [C] teller, reach your hand
They just beeline [G] for a bungalow where the curtains flutter
[C] [Em] Handles glow in a heart of June [Bm] beneath [C] _ [Em] _ [D] [G] a gulf moon
_ _ _ [D] Here [G] I'm on a midnight porch, [C] looking up at a butane [D] torch
That hangs [G] behind a black [C] expanse where stars flicker and planets dance

[G] _ _ _ Now by the [D] jetty near the Balinese Pier, [Em] the curmudgeons drink [C] the yellow belly beer
And they bitch about [G] the price of gas and the fish that they can't seem [C] to catch
[G] They blame it on the [D] island's way [Bm] down south [Em] from the Bayou Mars
[C] And the delta mouth where the choppers [D] roll and tankers come
[G] In the midnight days for the [Em] oil drum, they can't leave too soon
[C] _ _ [D] [G] Beneath a gulf moon
