G C Am
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike
D7 G
My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike
C Am
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
D7 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
A7 D7
But I made a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
G Em C Am
I try to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
D7 G
My minds on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
C Am
Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young peoples class
D7 G
They'll expect answers to all of the questions they ask
C Am
What would they say if I spoke on a modern day sin
D7 G
And all of the Margie's and all of the Lincoln Park Inns
C Am
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
D7 G
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
C Am
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the bridge club again
D7 G
I'm almost out if cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn
Em
And I know why she's there
