Gulf Moon Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G]
[A][D]
[A][Bm][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
A corner dive [A]down
on the square
Where the win[Bm]dows hang
with [G]a neon flare
Regulars shoot [A]horse and pool
While the bar[D]maid wishes
the place half full
She works the jar with a [A]discount flirt
[Bm]A faded Houston Oil[G]ers shirt
While an old crow sings
[A]down on the stage
Thumb[D]ing the chords on a
crinkled page
[Bm]He plays his [G]Zevon tune
[A]Beneath a gulf [D]moon
[A]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 2]
Take a walk [A]down along the wall
You'll go [Bm]right on past the [G]carnival
Hand in hand with the [A]keeper kind
[D]The kind that ties to the ties that bind
Don't care for the [A]carnie man
Or the for[Bm]tune teller that
[G]reads your hand
You just beeline for a [A]bungalow
Where [D]the curtains flutter
And candles glow
[Bm]In the heart [G]of June
[A]Beneath a gulf [D]moon

[Verse 3]
[A]And here I'm on a mid[D]night porch
[G]Looking up at a butane torch
[A]That hangs behind [D]a black expanse
Where [G]stars flicker
and planets dance
[A]And it's probably time I [D]pack it in
With [G]a glass half-full of of Jameson
Well I [Bm]was born to croon
I might as [G]well
[A]Beneath a gulf [D]moon

[Interlude 2]
[A][Bm][G]
[A][D]
[Bm]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Down by the jetty
Near the [A]Balinese [D]Pier
The cur[Bm]mudgeons drink the
yellow [G]belly beer
And they bitch about [A]the price of gas
[D]And the fish that they
can't seem to catch
They blame it on the islands
way down south
From the bay[Bm]ou marsh
and the [G]delta mouth
Where the choppers roll
and the [A]tankers come
In a [D]midnight daze for the oil drum
They can[Bm]'t leave too s[G]oon
[A]Beneath a gulf moon

[Outro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G]
[A][D]
