   G                        C
1.The motel lights were blinkin'
2.We used to tell each other lies
3.The only song I ever knew

         D                    G
1.On my chartreuse four-door Lincoln
2.With our orange plastic button 
eyes
3.Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue

                              C
1.On the dock the fish were stinkin'
2.In a former life on a motel chair

3.These are tales from the Devil's 
Chin

            D             G
1.I simply didn't have a care.
2.I was Charlie Parker's Teddy Bear
3.Charlie I could've been a 
contender

1.And the old men sit 'round the 
   C
cracker barrels
2.Yeah, me and Bird we'd stay up 
late
3.And the old men sit 'round the 
cracker barrels

         D                    G
1.The children hum their Christmas 
Carols
2.I used to watch him contemplate
3.The children hum their Christmas 
Carols

                              C
1.The train tracks all run parallel
2.While his horn would sit by the 
window and wait
3.The train tracks all run parallel

             D             G
1.But they'll all meet up one day
2.Till it was time for him to blow 
it
3.But they'll all meet up one day


CHORUS:

        G                C
  On a dusty pew in a vestibule

            D              G
  Sits the Devil playing pocket pool

                         C      
  He's waiting for the next poor 
   Am
fool

          D               G
  Who forgot that it was Sunday
