Railway Hotel by Mike Batt
Railway Hotel
Capo: 1st fret
Key: C
[Intro]
C G7 C F C Dm G7 C Dm F G7
[Verse 1]
Em C
We went to the room and we bolted the door,
Dm G7
The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor,
C Em C F C F C
And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains.
C Dm C
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins?
Dm G7
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins?
C Dm C F C
A dirty electric convector plugged into the mains.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
I had wanted much more for the first night with you,
F C G7
But the railway hotel was the best I could do.
C Em C
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well,
F Dm C G7
But the best I could do was the railway hotel.
[Interlude]
C F C
[Verse 2]
C Dm C
Away in the sky were the lights of a jet,
Dm Em G7
Burning in the night like a slow cigarette.
C G7 C F C F C
The lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall.
C Dm C
And though it was crumbling and rundown and dead
Dm G7 Em
A chair and a sink and an old single bed,
C G7 C F C
The love we began and the things that we said, I recall.
[Chorus]
C G7 C
I had wanted much more for the first night with you,
F Dm C G7
But the railway hotel was the best I couid do.
C Em C
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well,
F Dm C G7
But the best I couid do was the railway hotel
[Outro]
C F C Bm C Dm F G7 Em C
