[Dm][Esus4][E][Am][Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Well
she's up against the register [Fm]with an apron [Ddim]and a spatula
[E]Yester[Em]day's deliv[C]eries,
[Gsus4]tickets f[Ebm]or the bachelors
She's a [Dm]moving violation from her
[Esus4]conk down to her [E]shoes
Well, it's [Am]just an invitation
to [E]the blues
[Am]

[Verse 2]
And [Dm]you feel just like Cagney, she
[G]looks like Rita Hayworth
At the [C]counter of the Schwab's
drugstore
You wonder [Dm]if she might be single,
she's [G]alone and [Gsus4]likes to [G]mingle
[C]Got to be patient,
try and [E]pick up [Am]a clue
[E]She said

[Verse 3]
[Am]How you gonna like 'em, over
[Fm]medium or scrambled?
[C]'Cause any [Em]way's the [C]only way,
[Ebdim]be careful not t[Ebm]o gamble[G#]
On a [Dm]guy with a suitcase and a
[Esus4]ticket getting out of[E] here
In a [Am]tired bus station and an
[Fm]old pair of shoes
[Ddim]'Cause it ain't nothing[Esus4]
but an in[E]vitation to the blues
[Am]

[Verse 4]
But you can't [Dm]take your eyes off her,
get another [G]cup of java
It's [C]just the way she pours it [G]for you,
[C]joking with the customers
Mer[G]cy mercy, [Dm]Mr. Percy,
there [G]ain't nothing back in Jersey
But a [C]broken-down jalopy
[E]of a man I left behind
And [Am]the dream that I was chasing,
[Fm]a battle with booze
And an [E]open [Esus4]invita ti[E]on to the blues
[Am]

[Verse 5]
But she used [Dm]to have a sugar daddy
and a [G]candy-apple Caddy
Caddy
And a [C]bank account and everything,
accustomed to the finer things
He [Dm]probably left her for a socialite, and
[G]he didn't love her 'cept at night
And [C]then he's drunk and never
even [E]told her that he cared
So they [Am]took the registration,
[Fdim]and the car-keys and[Fm] and her shoes
And [E]left [Esus4]her with an in[E]vitation to the blues

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Fm][E][Em]
[Ebdim][Ebm][Dm][Esus4][E][Am]
[Fdim][E][Am]

[Verse 6]
Cause there's a [Dm]Continental Trailways leaving [G]local bus tonight,
good evening
[C]You can have my seat,
I'm sticking round here for a while
Get me a [Dm]room at the Squire,
the [G]filling station's hiring
[C]Knock kneed here every night,
what the [E]hell have I got to lose?
Got [Am]a crazy sensation,
go or [Fdim]stay? Now I go[Fm]tta choose
And I'll [Esus4]ac cept your invitation [E]to the blues
