	  Em                                      D  
Couple in the next room, bound to win a prize  
                       G              A             D  
They've been going at it all night long  
                C                             G                      C                        G  
Well, I'm trying to get some sleep, but these motel walls are cheap  
               C                    G                               D                      Em  
Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song, here's my song  

Em                                               D  
My father was a fisherman, my mama was the fisherman's friend  
      G                              A                          D  
And I was born in the boredom and the chowder  
        C                               G             C                       G  
So when I reached my prime, I left my home in the Maritimes  
C                             G                         D                             Em  
Headed down the turnpike for New England, sweet New England

Em                                     D  
Holes in my confidence, holes in the knees of my jeans  
           G                   A                  D  
I was left without a penny in my pocket.  
C                  G                          C                    G  
Oo hoo hoo wee I was about destituted as a kid could be  
            C                      G                      D                       Em  
And I wished I wore a ring so I could hock it, I'd like to hock it  

Em                                                  D  
A young girl in a parking lot was preaching to a crowd  
              G                            A                        D  
Singing sacred songs and reading from the Bible  
             C                   G                   C                               G  
Well, I told her I was lost, and she told me all about the Pentecost  
           C                              G                    D             Em  
And I seen that girl as the road to my surviv - - - - - - al

Em  
Just later on the very same night  
               D  
when I crept to her tent with a flashlight  
               G                 A                D  
and my long years of innocence ended  
                  C                      G                   C                                                G  
Well, she took me to the woods, saying "Here comes something and it feels so good!"  
        C              G                   D                          Em  
And just like a dog I was befriended   I was befriended  

Em                              D  
Oh, oh, what a night, Oh what a garden of delight  
           G                      A            D  
Even now that sweet memory lingers  
            C                  G            C                        G  
I was playing my guitar, lying underneath the stars  
           C                G                 D                   Em  
Just thanking the Lord for my fingers, for my fingers
