F#                  C# 
A corner dive down on the square
           D#m                B
Where the windows hang with a neon flare
               C#
Regulars shoot horse and pool
           F#
While the barmaid wishes the place half full
                           C# 
She works the jar with a discount flirt
   D#m          B
A faded Houston Oilers shirt
                        C#
While an old crow sings down on the stage
F#
Thumbing the chords on a crinkled page
   D#m                 B
He plays his Zevon tune
C#
Beneath a gulf moon

Take a walk down along the wall
You'll go right on past the carnival
Hand in hand with the keeper kind
The kind that ties to the ties that bind
Don't care for the carnie man
Or the fortune teller that reads your hand
They just beeline for a bungalow
Where the curtains flutter and candles glow
In the heart of June
Beneath the gulf moon

Chorus:
 C#                F#
And here I'm on a midnight porch
 B
Looking up at a butane torch
 C#                   F#
That hangs behind a black expanse
        B
Where stars flicker and planets dance
           C#             F#
And it's probably time I pack it in
         B
With a glass half-full of Jameson
            D#m
Well I was born to croon
            B
I might as well
C#
Beneath a gulf moon

Down by the jetty, near the Balinese Pier
The curmudgeons drink the yellow belly beer
And they bitch about the price of gas
And the fish that they can't seem to catch
They blame it on the islands way down south
From the bayou marsh and the delta mouth
Where choppers roll, and the tankers come
In a midnight daze for the oil drum
They can't leave too soon
'Neath the gulf moon
