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