This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

G C
1.The motel lights were blinkin'
2.We used to tell each other lies
3.The only song I ever knew
D G
1.On my chartreuse four-door Lincoln
2.With our orange plastic button eyes
3.Was Moonlight Bay on the Avenue
C
1.On the dock the fish were stinkin'
2.In a former life on a motel chair
3.These are tales from the Devil's Chin
D G
1.I simply didn't have a care.
2.I was Charlie Parker's Teddy Bear
3.Charlie I could've been a contender
C
1.And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
2.Yeah, me and Bird we'd stay up late
3.And the old men sit 'round the cracker barrels
D G
1.The children hum their Christmas Carols
2.I used to watch him contemplate
3.The children hum their Christmas Carols
C
1.The train tracks all run parallel
2.While his horn would sit by the window and wait
3.The train tracks all run parallel
D G
1.But they'll all meet up one day
2.Till it was time for him to blow it
3.But they'll all meet up one day
CHORUS:
G C
On a dusty pew in a vestibule
D G
Sits the Devil playing pocket pool
C Am
He's waiting for the next poor fool
D G
Who forgot that it was Sunday
