N.C.       Gm7        C7          Gm7      C7
Well I'm drivin' on down to the surfside bar

              A7#9                    D7#9      C7
These days my old shovelhead she don't    travel far

        Gm7           C7         Gm7   C7
But she goes where I want, now I wanna be

               A7#9                      D7#9      Db7#9
Where all the locals go to keep eachother     company

          C7
They all drive Chevy pickups in the morning

         A7
Then all ride Harley Davidsons at night

         C7
They all work for somebody who makes all the money

     A7                           D7#9
And pays them just enough to get tight

N.C.                   Gm7   C7   Gm7

Well I'm driving on down to meet a woman there

            A7#9                    D7#9         C7
She got the long legs, the red lips, the golden hair

          Gm7          C7           Gm7       C7
She knows just what to do to make a man feel good

           A7#9                         D7#9         Db7#9
She's the hardest workin' woman in this      neighborhood

           C7
She don't mind makin' breakfast in the morning

           A7
She don't mind makin' love every night

            C7
She said, "Come see me honey, and bring lots of money

       A7                       D7#9   N.C.                   Gm7   C7   Gm7
'Cause we know how to treat you right, in the house of blue light"

[Bridge]
C7 Gb7 F7
         You know this life is filled with grief

Ab7
   Sometimes it gets you so down

F7
   You got to find yourself some relief

A7#9                        D   Eb E  F  F# Gm7         C7
   And there's a roadhouse right   outside     of town

Gm7        C7         Gm7
   Roadhouse, blue light
[Interlude] | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 C7 | Gm7 D7#9 | [Verse 3]
N.C.      Gm7               C7           Gm7      C7
Well I've been around the world a dozen times or more

       A7#9                    D7#9          C7
And I never really knew what I was searching for

        Gm7           C7       Gm7      C7
'Til I came to this place on a midnight ride

         A7#9                 D7#9        Db7#9
I pulled next to a full dress      Electra-Glide

           C7
They had a band playing blues from Mississippi

           A7
They had a bar that kept the customers in sight

               C7
They had some fine architecture and a view that will get you

        A7                         D7#9
You'll wanna spend the whole damn night

N.C.                       Gm7
In the house of blue light

Gm7
