Railway Hotel (Justin Hayward)
[3/4 time]
[D] [A7] [D]
We went to the room and we bolted the door
[E] [A7]
The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor
[D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] / /
And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains
C / / D / G D / /
[D] [A7] [D]
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins
[E] [A7]
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins
[D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] / / [C] / /
The dirty electric convector plugged into the mains
[D] [A] [D]
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
G D / / A7 / / D / /
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
[A] [D]
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
G D / / A7 / / D / /
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
G / / D / / C / / D / G D / /
[D] [A7] [D]
Away in the sky were the lights of a jet
[E] [A7]
Burning in the night like a slow cigarette
[D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] / /
A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall
C / / D / G D / /
[D] [A7] [D]
And though it was crumbling and run down and dead
[E] [A7]
A chair and a sink and an old single bed
[D] [A7] [D] [G] [D] / / [C] / /
The love we began and the things that we said I recall
[D] [A] [D]
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
G D / / A7 / / D / /
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
[A] [D]
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
[G] [D] / / [G] / / [D]
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
