(Margie’s At) The Lincoln Park Inn
By Bobby Bare


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


Chorus:
                     C                       G
And I know why she's there I've been there before
    A7                                            D 
But I made her a promise that I wouldn't cheat anymore
  G                                               C      C/B  Am
I tried to ignore it but I know she's in there my friend
   D                                                   G
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:
     A                                           D      D/F#   Bm
The bike is all fixed and my little boy's in bed asleep
    E                                          A
His little old puppy is curled in a ball at my feet
   A                                                D      D/F#   Bm
My wife's baking cookies to feed to the Bridge Club again
    E                                                         A
I'm almost out of cigarettes and Margie's at the Lincoln Park Inn

And I know why she's there
