Chords

[Intro] G D/F# Em C C D G [Verse]
G                  D/F#
A corner dive down on the square

           Em                 C
Where the windows hang with a neon flare

                D
Regulars shoot horse and pool

           G
While the barmaid wishes the place half full

                          D/F#
She works the jar with a discount flirt

   Em           C
A faded Houston Oilers shirt

                        D
While an old crow sings down on the stage

G                         D/F#
Thumbing the chords on a crinkled page

   Em                      C
He plays his Zevon tune

D
Beneath a gulf moon
[Instrumental] G D/F# Em C C D G [Verse]
G                D/F#
Take a walk down along the wall

          Em                C
You'll go right on past the carnival

                      D
Hand in hand with the keeper kind

G
The kind that ties to the ties that bind

                   D/F#
Don't care for the carnie man

       Em                  C
Or the fortune teller that reads your hand

                       D
You just beeline for a bungalow

           G
Where the curtains flutter

    D/F#
And candles glow

                Em     C
In the heart of June

D                  G
Beneath a gulf moon
[Chorus]
D                 G
And here I'm on a midnight porch

C
Looking up at a butane torch

D                   G
That hangs behind a black expanse

      C                 Em
Where stars flicker and planets dance

          D               G
And it's probably time I pack it in

       C
With a glass half-full of Jameson

          Em
Well I was born to croon

          C
I might as well

D
Beneath a gulf moon
[Instrumental] G D/F# Em C C D G [Verse]
G
Down by the jetty

        D/F#
Near the Balinese Pier

     Em                          C
The curmudgeons drink the yellow belly beer

                          D
And they bitch about the price of gas

         G
And the fish that they can't seem to catch

                             D/F#
They blame it on the islands way down south

          Em              C
From the bayou marsh and the delta mouth

                                 D
Where the choppers roll and the tankers come

      G                  D/F#
In a midnight daze for the oil drum

     Em                    C
They can't leave too soon

D
Beneath a gulf moon
