Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Couple in the next room
[D]Bound to win a prize
They've been [G]going at it [A]all night [D]long
Well, I'm [C]tryin' to get some [G]sleep
But these [C]motel walls are [G]cheap
Lincoln [C]Duncan is my [G]name
And here's my [D]song, here's [Em]my song
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]My father was a fisherman
My [D]mama was a fisherman's friend
And [G]I was born in the b[A]oredom
and the [D]chowder
So [C]when I reached my [G]prime
I left [C]my home in the [G]Maritimes
[C]Headed down the [G]turnpike for New [D]England
Sweet New [Em]England

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][Em]
[D][Em][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Holes in my confidence
[D]Holes in the knees of my jeans
I was [G]left without a [A]penny in my [D]pocket
[C]Ooh- [G]wee
I was about as [C]destituted as a [G]kid could be
And I [C]wished I wore a [G]ring so I could [D]hock it
I'd like to [Em]hock it
[Em]

[Verse 4]
A [Em]young girl in a parkin' lot
Was [D]preaching to a crowd
Singing [G]sacred songs and
[A]Reading from the [D]Bible
Well, I [C]told her I was [G]lost
And she [C]told me all about the [G]Pentecost
And I [C]seen that girl
as the [G]road to my sur[D]vival[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[C][G]
[C]I know, I know, I kno[G]w, I know,
I know, I know
[C][G][Em]
[D][Em][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Just later on the very same night
When I [D]crept to her tent with a flashlight
And my [G]long years of [A]innocence [D]ended
Well, she [C]took me to the [G]woods
Sayin' [C]"Here comes something,
and it [G]feels so good!"
And [C]just like a [G]dog I was be[D]friended
I was be[Em]friended
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Oh, oh, what a night
[D]Oh, what a garden of delight
Even [G]now that sweet [A]memory [D]lingers
I was [C]playing my gui[G]tar
Lyin' [C]underneath the [G]stars
Just [C]thankin' the [G]Lord
For my [D]fingers
For my [Em]fingers

[Outro 1]
[C](I [G]kno[C]w, I know...)[G]
[C][G][Em]
