_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Couple in the next room, [D] bound to win a prize
[G] They've been going at it [A] all night [D] long _
Well [C] I'm trying to get [G] some sleep
But [C] these [G] motel walls are cheap
Thinking [C] Duncan is my [G] name
Here's my [D] song, [Em] here's my song
My _ _ _ _ father was a fisherman
My [D] mama was a fisherman's friend
[G] And I was [A] born the morning [D] man, the chowder _
[G] So [C] when I [G] reached my [C] prime
I left my [G] home in the [C] Maritimes
Headed [G] down the turnpike [D] for New England _
[Em] Sweet New England
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Holes in my [D] confidence
Holes in the knees of my jeans
I [G] was left [A] without a penny [D] in my pocket _
_ [C] _ _ [G] I was about [C] [G] destitute as a kid could be
And I wished I wore a ring [D] so I could honk it
[Em] I'd like to honk it
A _ _ _ young girl in a parking [D] lot
Was preaching to a crowd
[G] Singing sacred [A] songs and reading [D] from the Bible _
[G] Well I told her I was lost
[Em] And she told me [G] all about the [C] Pentecost
And I seen that [G] girl was the road to my [D] _ _
[Em] survival
_ I [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
know I
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Just later on the very same [D] night
When I crept to her tent with a flashlight
[G] And my [A] long years have been [D] oh so incendiary
Well [C] she took me [G] to the woods
[C] Saying here comes [G] something and I feel so [C] good
And just [G] like a dog I [D] was befriended
I [Em] was befriended
_ Oh _ _ _ _ _ what a [D] night
Oh what a garden of delight
[G] Even now that [A] sweet [D] memory lingers
[G] I [C] was playing my [G] guitar
Lying [C] underneath [G] the stars
[C] Just [G] thanking the Lord for my [D] fingers _
[Em] For my fingers
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ For [C] _ _ _
