[Intro]

Bb7 Eb9
Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7 Eb9
A cab combs the snake,
Bb7 Eb9
Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,
Bb7
And a solitary sailor
Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers...
Bb7 Eb9 Bb7 Eb9
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
Bb7
And the last bent butt from a packet of Kents,
Am7 D7 Gm7
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes,
F7 Eb7
marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.
Bb7 Eb9 Bb7 Eb9
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, "Irene"
Bb7 Eb9
As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes
Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7 Eb9
And the Texaco beacon
Bb7 Eb9
burns on,
Bb7 Eb9
The steel-belted attendant with a 'Ring and Valve Special'...
Bb7 Am7 D7
Cryin' "Fill'er up and check that oil"
Gm7 F7 Eb7
"You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil."
Bb7 Eb9 Bb7 Eb9
The early mornin' final edition's on the stands,
Bb7 Eb9
And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands.
Bb7 Am7 D7
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents,
Gm7 F7 Eb7
Eggs - roll 'em over and a package of Kents,
Bb7 Eb9 Am7 Gm7
Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight,
F7 Eb7
Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late.
Bb7 Eb9
Bb7 Eb9
Bb7 Am7 D7 Gm7 F7 Eb7
Bb7 Eb9 Bb7 Eb9
And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond
Bb7 Eb9 Bb7 Eb9
Across a cash crop car lot filled with twilight Coupe Devilles,
Bb7 Am7 D7
Leaving the town in a-keeping
Gm7 F7 Eb7
Of the one who is sweeping
(slows down)
Bb7 Eb9
Up the ghosts of Saturday night...
