Verse 1:
E MajorE        A augmentedA
Out on Route 66, way back to the sticks
E MajorE           BB
Out on the old Chisolm trail
E MajorE          A augmentedA
Just east of El Reno next to Ted's Escondido
E MajorE         BB    E MajorE
Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel
E MajorE          A augmentedA
Lucille and Madonna slinging cheese enchiladas
E MajorE             BB
Chain smoking non-filtered Pall Malls
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Old men shooting pool and cursing like fools
E MajorE        BB    E MajorE
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

E MajorE              A augmentedA
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
E MajorE              BB
The Queen of the old mother road

There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E MajorE        BB    E MajorE
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Room 23 was the first time for me
E MajorE           BB
A augmentedA stripper named Rita Cantrell

At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Oh the sign said, we doze but we never do close

There's a big wrecking ball, Just tore down the wall,
E MajorE         BB
A augmentedA piece of America fell

Now I'm all for progress, but god knows that I miss
E MajorE       BB    E MajorE
The old Lucky Diamond Motel
