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
