C -> D -> G

   C          D        G
we pulled out from st. mary’s

    C          D      G
and peered out of the back

    C       D        G
two hundred some odd waving hands

    C       D       C
who don’t expect us back


it didn’t take us long
to find a place to eat
a fantasy of love and marriage-
a world of food and sleep

  G         D
a hojo’s on Waukegan

   G            C
is where it all began

     G         D
everything was going well

   Calt               Bb
as well as the beetle ran

    Am                 G
you count the red cars headed north

     Bm                  Am
I’ll count the blues due south

   Calt Bm        Am      G
whoever racks the highest count

    C7
can tip the waitress out

    C7               G
can tip the waitress out


we eat with just one hand
the other two are clasped
we’re biding all the time in the world
let’s hope the feelings last
a fifty-fifty shot
that one day we’ll be back
let’s hope the coffee still comes cold
and the toast is served up black

CHORUS

now we’ve got three decades on our belts
the same two wedding bands
we haven’t killed each other yet
but eat with both our hands
you’ve gained a couple of pounds
I lost a little hair
a choked up waitress tears our check
when she finds out why we’re there

a hojo’s on Waukegan
is where the bug remains
everything’s (everything’s) still going
fine underneath the weather vane
you count the blue cars headin’ north
I’ll count the reds due south
whoever racks the lowest count
can tip the waitress out
