Strum
D-DU-UDU
all  the tables nice and clean
evelyns  asleep
 on  the grave yard shift  again
 selling gasoline
 and theres kids  smoking on south  first
 see high-school  was just a blur,  to her
 and  everything just found their place  it seemed
 theres an old  folk song  on the radio
 sounding  thin and  dark and  haunted
 theres  a bag of weed  in the back  beneath the books
 and she cant  stand the sight  of this coldasac
 like an old crow,  king of  the lamp-post
 and  this window  hasnt been  this clean since it last  rained
well  she pictures up a different  day
driving  west to east  L.A
and  there aint no sign of  a dime but hey
anyone  can dream anyone can dream
and  all the college  girls come in when  the bars let out and theyre  hungry
making  such a mess,  evelyn just  talks trash, as shes sweeping  up
 theres a  thin dark cloud  in the evening  air
 after every sunny  day
 theres  a bum who  lives in the parking  lot
 wash the windows  just to say hey.
 Just to say, hey. Ya
 ( )  x4
all  the tables nice and clean
evelyns  asleep
 on the grave  yard shift again
 selling gasoline
 selling gasoline
