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
