C In a tiny, tiny southern Swedish country townAm Two acres of field and a gas stationF Riding on my moped, looking for funG Staring into the blood red sunC On the country road is a boulevardAm With neon lights and night open barsF In my jacket a pack of playing cardsG Just jacks, jokers, and the queen of hearts [Chorus]F My heart is beatingEm Beating like RingoDm G As I pull into the drive-in bingo [Interlude] C Am F G x2 [Verse 2]C Am Why do the people in the country want to look like the people in the city? When the people in the city aren't the slightest prettyF G I want the people in the country to wear flannel shirts and saggy jeans all covered in dirtC I want the people in the country to be open and kindAm But most times I've met those with a narrow mindF With a big black dog to bite your behindG If they ever find out you're not one of their kind [Chorus]F Em All these thoughts as I open up a ZingoDm G Friday night at the drive-in bingo [Interlude] C Am F G x2 [Bridge]Dm G So this is what they do out here for fun?C F7 F They play bingo and let their engines run?Dm G Tonight's jackpot is a pig, hey that's criminal!C F7 F G-42! Ooh, I'm going diagonal!Dm G I'm gonna gather up a few of my friendsEm As many fits into an army tentE Just bring our savings and a bottle of wineF C Am To the Friday night's reversal of time! [Verse 3]C This little south-west village shouldn't cost that much F n.c. Maybe a handful of silver or a hundred bucks We could have wild, wild parties in that big old lodgeG And the windmill's perfect for movies and suchC We could fake our deaths to get insurance moneyAm And take on hippie names I'd be Snowphish, you'd be SunnyF We could start a little farm with little white bunniesG Just because watching them copulate is very funnyC There's a cow and an ostrich just waiting for you!Am A glass of apple cider just waiting for you!F The smell of 1952 just waiting for you!G And all I'm doing here is just waiting for you... [Chorus]F Em A daydream, I'm caught up in limboDm G Friday night at the drive-in bingo [Outro] C Am F G x4C
