The couple in the next [C] room is bound to win a prize
[F] They've been going [G] at it all night [C] long
[Bb] Well I'm trying to [F] get some sleep
[Bb] But these motel [F] walls are cheap
[Bb] Lincoln Duncan is [F] my name
And here's [C] my song
[Dm] Here's my song
My father was a fisherman
[C] My mama was a fisherman's friend
And [F] I was born [G] in the [C] boredom in the chowder
So [Bb] when I [F] reached my prime
[Bb] I left my [F] home in the Maritime
[Bb] And headed [F] down the [C] turnpike for New England
[Dm] Sweet New England
[Bb] Sweet [C]
[F] New [Bb] England
[F] Sweet
[Bb] New [F]
England
[C]
[Dm]
Holes in my [C] confidence
Holes in the knees of my jeans
[F] I was left [G] without a penny [C] in my pocket
[Bb] [F] Ooh wee
I was about [Bb] as destitute as a kid could [Bb] be
I wish I [F] wore a ring so I [C] could hawk it
I'd [Dm] like to hawk it
Young girl in a parking lot
[C] Was preaching to a crowd
Singing [F] sacred songs [G] and reading [C] from the Bible
Well I [Bb] told her I [F] was lost
[Bb] And she told me all about [F] the Pentecost
I seen that [F] girl as the road to [C] my survival
[Dm]
[Bb] [C] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[C]
[D] [Dm]
Later on in the very same [C] night
When I crept to her tent with my flashlight
[F] And my [G] long years of innocence [C] ended
[Bb] Oh she took me [F] to the woods
[Bb] Saying here comes [F] something and it feels so [Bb] good
Just [F] like a dog I [C] was befriended
I was [Dm]
befriended
Oh oh what a night
[C] Oh what a garden of delight
[F] Even now [G] that sweet memory [C] lingers
[Bb] I was playing my [F] guitar
Lying underneath the stars
[Bb] Just thanking [F] the Lord [C] for my fingers
For my [Dm] fingers
[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] For my fingers
[C] [D] [Dm]
