G5                                                  C5     C5   A5 
My name's in the paper where I took the boy scouts to hike 
   D5                                                  G5 
My hands're all dirty from working on my little boy's bike 
    G5                                               C5    C5  A5 
The preacher came by and I talked for a minute with him 
   D5                                                      G5 
My wife's in the kitchen and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn  


                     C5                       G5 
And I know why she's there I've been there before 
    A5                                            D5  
But I made her a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore 
  G5                                               C5      C5  A5 
I tried to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend 
   D5                                                   G5 
My mind'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 of the modern day sins 

And all of the Margie?s at all of the Lincoln Park Inns 
 
Key change to A: 
     A5                                           D5      D5   B5 
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep 
    E5                                          A5 
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet 
   A5                                                D5      D5   B5 
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the Bridge Club again 
    E5                                                         A5 
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn 
 
And I know why she's there
