Well, there was no way of telling [Ebm] on the first day [Bb] in town
_ Far it was from the [Eb] Greyhound [Bb] station [Eb] to midnight _ _ and always
[Bb] _ _ He [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ checked into room at [Ebm] the Intela [Gm] Hotel
_ Got [Bb] used [Eb] to the gloom and the smell and the thrill at the same
Old man laying in [Bb] hallways
_ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] So you go up on Broadway
Where the sailors [Bb] all roll
_ And _ _ [Eb] the girls give themselves names like Lola, Estelle and [Bb] Nicole
_ They _ _ _ [Eb] work at a place called the Garden of Earthly _ [Bb] Delights _
And [F] the tourists pouring from all over to take [Bb] in the sights _ _
_ _ Then the streets are heating it the cop walks the beat
_ You feel him coming from way down the street
[Eb] Drawing lines in the dirt with his feet
Daring [Bb] kids to cross it _
Now _ _ _ all the same whiny eyes still see in my dreams
_ Tighten up start [Gm] making scenes [Eb] and here comes Nicola Swaggin the old ones are whisperin' [Bb] tossin'
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] So Nick picks it up and looks for who's needing [Bb] it more
_ _ _ _ [F] And the ones on the lam are getting [A] ready [Bb] to roast
_ And [Eb] the afternoon goes on forever like some [Bb] drunken bum
_ _ Till [F] the sun finally drowns me the bridge and the night [Bb] has begun
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
Down by the bay the ship's horns are blasting [Bb] the fog
_ _ _ And we [F] stumble and mutter run through [Eb] the gutter [Bb] like dogs
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] With one card to play
Dying to play [Bb] each _ night _ _
[F] In the back of a place called the Garden [Cm] of [Bb] Earthly _ _ Delights _ _ _
High in your room the mirror falls with a roar
_ Staring at pieces that lay broke on the floor and there's [Eb] a knock on the door
And the guy says there's a call [Bb] on the phone
_ [Eb] You [Bb] _
figure nobody knows your room or your name
You're guessing someone [Eb] just [Bb] playing a game so [Eb] you answer it guarded
_ Expecting to still be [Bb] alone _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] It's Nicole she says she's getting off [Bb] early tonight
_ Her _ _
_ [Eb] and the boss just had a [Bb] terrible _ fight
And _ _ [Eb] would you come down to meet her would that [Bb] be all right?
_ [Gm] _ _ [Bb] So [F] you walk in the back door and first thing you hear [Bb] is her _ song _ _ _
At the [F] Garden of Earthly Delights
Show [Bb] must go
_ _ _ You [Eb] got one card to play dying to play [Gm] each _ [Bb] night
_ _ With [F] you back to the bar at the Garden of Earthly [Bb] _ Delights
_ You _ [Eb] got one card to play
Dying to play [Bb] each night _ _ _
[F] In the back of a place called the Garden [A] of [Bb] Earthly _ Delights _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
