The Key Eric Johnson seems to play it in....i think? 
Well  he got
GLonely every time the cantina lAmights came up
                    C     G    Gsus-  G  
On the Indian Casino Queen   Cus he’d loved her from the time she’d been the
waAmitress at the MexiCcan place where he’d left his Dkeys
She’d been there Amsmilin' at the lost and Gfound
                C/B             Am       Bm(        Bm     Bbm  Am)
Then he took her to see Three Dog Night, they were playin’ at the fairgrounds
Holdin’ hands Amsingin' “Joy to thGe GsusWorldG”
She was Gway Dtoo Cyoung
But he Gdid Dnot Emcare
  AHe was alright with cashin’ inC  
A                               C                   C(fade)
  A few fine moments before his broken heart kicked in
[Riff]
G-Gsus-G (fade)
Well he
Gdied a little bit each time the Amnight came in
And the Cstars fell over MichigGan       GsusCus he’d Gloved her at the ball when he saw her
Amdancing to “I Could Never TCake the Place of Your DMan”
Then he’d come Amover to his usual Gspot
                     C       Em       Bm(     Bm     Bbm  Am)
Soon they were makin’ out at three AM in the empty parking lot
They'd lay Amtogether under the burnt GouGsust starGs
She never Gloved Dhim baCck
It wasn’Gt eDven Emclose
  ABut he was fine with just pretendC  
  Athat it was never gonna endC  
  Aand it was worth it just to knowC  
  AA little warmth before the snowC
