Motel Blues
L. Wainwright III
NOTE: I know this is a re-recording (original version appeared on "Album II").
As I've never heard the original, I can't say if it's the same key.

INTRO: G D G D G D G D
[G]In this town television shuts off at 2[D]
[G]What can a lonely rock 'n roller [D]do
Ah, the [A]bed's so big and the sheets are clean
[A]And your girlfriend said you were 19
And the [G]styrofoam ice bucket is full of [D]ice
[C]Come up to my mo[G]tel room, treat me [D]nice
I don't wanna make no late night New York calls
I don't wanna stare at them ugly grass-mat walls
Chronoligically you know you're young
But when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue
I'll write a song for you, I'll put it on my new LP
Ah, come up to my motel room, sleep with me
BREAK (VERSE chords)
Oh, there's a Bible in the drawer, don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign to warn the cleanup maid
Yeah there's lots of soap and there's lots of towels
Nevermind them desk clerk scowls
I'll buy you breakfast, they'll think you're my wife
Come up to my motel room, save my life
[C]Come up to my mo[G]tel room, [D]save my life
OUTRO: C G D
