(Margie's at) The Lincoln Park Inn (Tom T. Hall)

           G                                                                                      C    Cmaj7  C
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike
          D7                                                                                     G    Gmaj7  G
My hands are all dirty from working on my little boys bike
                                                                                                  C    Cmaj7   C
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him
         D7                                                                                            G
My wife's in the kitchen and Margies' at the Lincoln Park Inn

 

Chorus

                                           Em               C                  G       Gmaj7  G6  G
And I know why she's there, I've been there before
      A7                                                                        D         D7   D6  D7
But I made a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
    G                                                                                C       Cmaj7  C6  C
I try to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
         D7                                                                                           G
My mine's on a number and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

 

Next Sunday it's my turn to speak to the young people's class

They expect answers to all of the questions they ask

What would they say if I spoke on the modern day sin

And all of the Margie's and all of the Lincoln Park Inns

 

          B                                                                           E        E7   E6  E
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
        F#7                                                                    B     Bmaj7  B6  B
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
                                                                                             E      Emaj7  E6  E
My wife baking cookies to feed to the bridge club again
          F#7                                                                                              B
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

And I know why she's there.
