Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
After the peep
C 
D 
show closed,
G 
he walked toward home alone
D 
He'd never been much
of a ladies' man,
G 
D 
but he didn't seem to worry of none
G 
He'd known the excitement
D 
G 
D 
of seeing a beautiful body in motion
But for Lonnie the Loser,
the excitement of touching
G 
was only a heard -about notion
D 
She sat at the bar all night,
G 
D 
but nobody bought her a drink
C 
D 
Only the bartender heard her remark
G 
That she almost never
D 
stayed out this late
G 
D 
They watched her sit on that bar stool
G 
D 
For the last five nights in a row
Everybody says Mary's easy
G 
D 
But nobody here seems to care if it's so
C 
G 
D 
Be kind to the people of the night
C 
G 
Be kind to the people of the night
D

Verse 8
D 
He might even see some lady there
G 
D 
to provide a  new face for his dream
And Mary watched Lonnie walk in,
G 
D 
she could see he was a kindred soul
She asked him if it was raining,
G 
but that wasn't really what
D 
she wanted to know
G 
D 
They talked for over an hour,
G 
D 
about things no one else cared to hear
A thimble of water to a thirsty man
G 
D 
is like an alcoholic drinkin' a beer

Both hopin' that they'd meet again
