Vernon Teclado

	  
      G  Em  C                D 
Well, Vernon blows a borrowed saxophone 
G      Em 
In the coffee house 
C   D 
All alone 

Em      G 
Starin' out t'ward the industry 
Am                 C     D   
Thinkin' about his autobiography 

            G       Em 
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so 
    Am                            C       D 
Dedicated to drums, cigarettes and Cafe Bustello 

           C 
Yes he is a dishwasher by trade 
         G 
But with loftier career goals 
       Am                       C   
And at night he does the lovely nudes in the charcoal 
       Am                      C                     G  Em C D 
And he left New Orleans just a couple of Mardi Gras'ago 

      G  Em  C                 D  
Well, Vernon heads out for the disco 
G         Em          C       D 
Full of excitement and oily espresso 
   Em        G 
On Monday he dances his hardest 
Am                      C               D 
Wearin' a tweed cap and looking like an artist 

            G       Em 
Yes, he's a man dedicated, ever so 
    Am                         C       D 
Dedicated to his cigarettes and Cafe Bustello 
             C 
Yes, he is a dishwasher by trade 
         G 
But with loftier career goals 
   Am                       C 
At night he does the lovely nudes in the charcoal 
       Am                      C                     G 
And he left New Orleans just a couple of Mardi Gras'ago 
        Am                      C                     G  Em C D 
Yes, he left New Orleans just a couple of Mardi Gras'ago
