Intro 
Eb 


Eb 
Three waitresses all wearing black diamond earrings 
Abm                   Eb   
Talking about zombies and Singapore slings 
Eb 
No trouble in their faces, not one anxious voice 
Abm               Eb 
None of the crazy you get from too much choice 
Abm               Eb 
The thumb and the satchel or the rented Rolls-Royce 
Bbm                               Fm 
And you think she knows something by the second refill 
Eb                            Gm 
You think she's enlightened and she totals your bill 
         Abm                            Eb  
You say "Show me the way to Barangrill" 


Eb 
Well some say it's in service, they say "Humble Makes Pure" 
Abm                            Eb  
You're hoping it's near Folly, 'cause you're headed that way for sure 
Eb 
And you just have to laugh 'cause it's all so crazy 
Abm                             Eb  
Ah, her mind's on her boyfriend and eggs over easy 
Bbm                      Fm 
It's just a trick on you her mirrors and your will 
Eb                          Gm  
So you ask the truck driver on the way to the till 
                 Abm                Db  Eb 
But he's just a slave to Barangrill 


Eb 
The guy at the gas pumps He's got a lot of soul 
Abm                              Eb  
He sings Merry Christmas for you just like Nat King Cole 
Eb                           Bbm 
And he makes up his own tune right on the spot 
       Abm                                 Eb  
About whitewalls and windshields and this job he's got 
Bbm 
And you want to get moving and you want to stay still 
Eb                                   Bb   
But lost in the moment some longing gets filled 
                       Abm   Ebm                         Eb    Bbm 
And you even forget to ask:  "Hey, where's Barangrill?"
