(verse one)
Dm Am Dm C F
Scheherazade packed up the car, made her way to New Mexico
Dm Am Bb Dm C F
A clarinet case on her lap, and a map with a scribbled address where to go
F Bb Bbmaj7 F D Gm A
I first saw her in the lobby of a motel in St. Louis, she was shaking a vending machine
Dm Bb
She said, "I told that old innkeeper I''m a pretty light sleeper
Dm C Dm C F
Still my window is facing the street, mmmhhhhh...
Em Am Bb Bbmaj7 Bb
So let''s get out of here, you and I could make our escape
F Dm Gm Asus4 A
Come on, buy me a drink before you have a chance to think it''s a mistake"
(chorus)
D A A D
And the moon was half perfect, and the bar was half asleep
D A
Her every sigh was a sirocco
Sweeping the bottles on the floor like tumbleweeds

Dm Am Dm C F
She said, "I''ll sing you to sleep if you promise to keep your back to me all through the night"
Dm Am Bb
In the morning she was gone, probably still had my jacket on
Dm C F
But it ain''t cold now, so I guess it''s all right
It''s useless to think, even more so to speak of the part I may play in her fables
