A augmentedA corner dive down on the square
      E minorEm         C majorC
Where the windows hang with a neon flare
        D MajorD
Regulars shoot horse and pool
      G+G
While the barmaid wishes the place half full
             D/F#D/F#
She works the jar with a discount flirt
  E minorEm      C majorC
A augmentedA faded Houston Oilers shirt
            D MajorD
While an old crow sings down on the stage
G+G             D/F#D/F#
Thumbing the chords on a crinkled page
  E minorEm           C majorC
He plays his Zevon tune

Beneath a gulf moon

Verse:
G+G        D/F#D/F#
Take a walk down along the wall
     E minorEm        C majorC
You'll go right on past the carnival
           D MajorD
Hand in hand with the keeper kind
G+G
The kind that ties to the ties that bind
          D/F#D/F#
Don't care for the carnie man
    E minorEm         C majorC
Or the fortune teller that reads your hand
            D MajorD
You just beeline for a bungalow
      G+G
Where the curtains flutter
  D/F#D/F#
And candles glow
        E minorEm   C majorC
In the heart of June
D MajorD         G+G
Beneath a gulf moon

Chorus:
D MajorD         G+G
And here I'm on a midnight porch
C majorC
Looking up at a butane torch
D MajorD          G+G
That hangs behind a black expanse
   C majorC         E minorEm
Where stars flicker and planets dance
     D MajorD        G+G
And it's probably time I pack it in
    C majorC
With a glass half-full of Jameson
     E minorEm
Well I was born to croon
     C majorC
I might as well
D MajorD
Beneath a gulf moon

Instrumental:
G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm C majorC C D MajorD G+G

Verse:
G+G
Down by the jetty
    D/F#D/F#
Near the Balinese Pier
   E minorEm             C majorC
The curmudgeons drink the yellow belly beer
             D MajorD
And they bitch about the price of gas
     G+G
And the fish that they can't seem to catch
               D/F#D/F#
They blame it on the islands way down south
     E minorEm       C majorC
From the bayou marsh and the delta mouth
                 D MajorD
Where the choppers roll and the tankers come
   G+G         D/F#D/F#
In a midnight daze for the oil drum
   E minorEm          C majorC
They can't leave too soon
D MajorD
Beneath a gulf moon
