Duncan

Paul Simon

 EmD
 Couple in the next room    Bound to win a prize  they've been
 GADCG
 goin' at it  all night long  Well I'm  tryin to get some sleep but these
 CGCG
 motel walls are cheep  Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my
 DEm
 song    here's my  song

 EmD
 My father was a fisherman  my mama was a fisherman's friend  And
 GAD
 I was born in the boredom and the chowder              So
 CGCG
 when I reached my prime  I left my home in the maritimes
 CGD
 headed down the turnpike for New England

solo:
 CGCGCGEmDEm
 EmD
 Holes in my confidence  holes in the knees of my jeans  I's
 GADCG
 left without a penny in my pocket    Oo  hoo hoo  wee  I's a - bout
 CGCG
 destituted as a kid could be And I wish I wore a ring so I could
 DEm
 hock it   I'd like to hock it

 EmD
 A young girl in a parking lot was preachin to a crowd  singin.
 GAD
 sacred songs and reading from the bible   Well I
 CGCG
 told her I was lost   and she told me all about the Pentecost  And I
 CGDEm
seen that girl as the road to my surviv - - - - - - al


solo :
 CGCGCGEmDEm
 Em
 Just latter on the very same night when I
 DGA
 crept to her tent with a flashlight and my long years of innocence
 DCG
 ended    Well she took me to the woods sayin'
 CGCG
 "Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!" And just like a dog I was
 DEm
 befriended   I was befriended

 EmD
 Oh  oh  what a night Oh what a garden of delight
 GAD
Even now that sweet memory lingers
 CGCG
 playin' my guitar   lying underneath the stars  Just
 CGDEm
 thankin' the lord for my fingers    for my fingers
