     Dm
When I first met Doreen

        F
She was barely seventeen.

        C                             G
She was drinking whiskey sours in the bar.

    Dm 
The way she tossed 'em back

           F
I would've had a heart attack.

    C                           G
But as it is I let her drive my car.

   Am        
We galloped through the boroughs

       F 
Like a pair of horny thoroughbreds,

  C                          Gm
Until I said, "Stop the car, Doreen."

             Dm
Well you can roll your eyes and nod

      F
But I swear that I saw God,

       C                                 G 
In the moonlight on a side street in the wreckage we call Queens.
[Chorus]
  F       C     G                         Bb
Doreen, Doreen, Last night I had an awful dream.

         F                       C
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.

     Dm      F          Dm      F
Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
[Instrumental] F C G Dm F C Gm F [Verse 2]
    Dm 
I'm pulling into Cleveland

     F
In a seven-seater tour van.

        Cm                                  G
There's eight of us, so I'm sleeping on the floor.

    Am     
The guy that plays the banjo

         F
Keeps on handing me the Old Crow,

      C                             G
Which multiplies my sorrow, I can't take it anymore.
[Chorus]
  F       C     G                         Bb
Doreen, Doreen, Last night I had an awful dream.

         F                       C
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.

     Dm      F          Dm      F
Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
[Instrumental] F C G Bb F C G Bb F [Verse 3]
        Dm
Now I'm begging and I'm pleading,

      F
"Well pull over guys, I'm bleeding.

          C                           G
There's a Fina off the highway with a phone."

    Dm 
I'm calling you Doreen,

       F
But it rings and rings and rings.

      C                          G
Where is it that you are, if you are not in bed at home.
[Chorus]
  F       C     G                         Bb
Doreen, Doreen, Last night I had an awful dream.

Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.

  F       C     G                         Bb
Doreen, Doreen, Last night I had an awful dream.

         F                       C
You were laying in the arms of a man I'd never seen.

Come clean Doreen. Come clean Doreen.
