   G             G/F#       Em          D             C     C/B  Am  Am/G
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike

   D                                                  G   G/F#  Em  D
My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike

    G             G/F#     Em           D           C    C/B  Am  Am/G
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him

   D                                                      G
My wife's in the kitchen and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn 

                     Em           C          G
And I know why she's there I've been there before

    A                                         D
But I made a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore

  G          G/F#        Em           D           C      C/B  Am  Am/G
I tried to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend

   D                                                   G
My mind's on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

   G             G/F#       Em            D             C     C/B  Am  Am/G
Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young people's class

  D                                                  G   G/F#  Em  D
They expect answers to all of the questions they ask

  G             G/F#     Em           D           C    C/B  Am  Am/G
What would they say if I spoke of the modern day sins

     D                                            G
And all of the Margies at all of the Lincoln Park Inns

    A           A/G#         F#m          F#m/A   D     D/C#  D/B  D/A
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep

    E                                          A    
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet

   A             A/G#       F#m         F#m/A        D        
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the Bridge Club again

      E                                                       D
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
