Couple in the next room bound to win a prize,
GAD
They've been goin' at it all night long. Well,
CGC
I'm tryin' to get some sleep, but these motel
GCG
walls are cheap. Lincoln Duncan is my name, and
DEm
here's my song, here's my song.
EmD
My father was a fisherman, my mamma was a
D7G
fisherman's friend. And I was born in the
ADC
boredom and the chowder. So when I reached my
GCGC
prime, I left my home in the Maritime. Headed
     
GD
down the turnpike for New England, sweet New
Em
England.
EmD
Holes in my confidence, holes in the knees of my
D7GAD
jeans. I's left without a penny in my pocket.
CGCG
Oo-oo-ee, I's about destituted as a kid could
CGD
be, And I wished I wore a ring so I could hock
Em
it, I'd like to hock it.
EmD
A young girl in a parking lot was preachin' to a
D7GA
crowd Singin' sacred songs and reading from the
DCGC
Bible. Well, I told her I was lost, and she told
GC
me all about the Pentecost. And I seen that girl
GDEm
as the road to my survival.
     
EmD
Just later on the very same night when I crept
G
to her tent with a D7 And my long years of
ADfagC
innocence ended. Well, she took me to the
GCG
woods sayin', "Here comes somethin' and it feels
CGD
And just like a dog I was befriended, I was
Emgod
befriended.
EmD
Oh, oh what a night, oh what a garden of
D7GAD
delight. Even now that sweet memory lingers. I
CGC
was playin' my guitar, lying underneath the
GCGD
stars, Just thankin' the Lord for my fingers,
Em
for my fingers.
