Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7A cab combs theEb9 snake,
Tryin' toBb7 rake in that last night's fare,Eb9
Bb7And a solitary sailor
Who spAm7ends the factD7s of his life like Gm7small cF7hange oEb7n strangers...
Bb7Paws his inside P-coat pockeEb9t for a welcome twenty-five cents,Bb7 Eb9
And the last bent butt from a paBb7cket of Kents,
As he drAm7eams of a waiD7tress with MaxwelGm7l House eyes,
F7marmalaEb7de thighs with scrambled yellow hair.
Bb7Her rhinestone-studEb9ded moniker says,Bb7 "Irene" Eb9
As she wipes the wisps of Bb7dishwater blonde from her eyEb9es
Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7 Eb9 And the Texaco beacon
Bb7burns on, Eb9
The steel-beltBb7ed attendant with a 'Ring and Valve SpEb9ecial'...
Cryin'Bb7 "Fill'er up andAm7 check that D7oil"
"You know it couGm7ld be a distribF7utor and it could be a cEb7oil."
Bb7 The eaEb9rly mornin' final edition's on the stBb7ands, Eb9
And that town cryer's cBb7ryin' there with nickels in his hanEb9ds.
Bb7 Pigs in a blankeAm7t sixty-nine ceD7nts,
Gm7Eggs - roll 'em ovF7er and a package ofEb7 Kents,
Bb7Adam and Eve on a loEb9g, you can Am7sink 'em damn stGm7raight,
HaF7sh browns, haEb7sh browns, you know I can't be late.

Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7 And the earlEb9y dawn cracks out a carpet of dBb7iamond Eb9
Bb7Across a cash Eb9crop car lot filBb7led with twilight Coupe DevilleEb9s,
Leaving the tBb7own in a-keAm7eping D7
Of the one who is sweeGm7ping F7 Eb7
(slows down)
Up the gBb7hosts of SaturdEb9ay night...
