Duncan

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
