Motel chords by Caitlin Canty

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Prelude:
   A              D
In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail
    A            D
You can tell them I'm doing OK, doing real well


Verse 1:
     F#m        A
I've got six strings in the morning
  E            D
The rain danced on the roof last night
F#m        A
Moon rose without warning
     E         D
Took its time crossing the sky

Verse 2:
    A                  D
I could tell you about lonely roads and the high way
    A                 D
I could warn you about the trouble and the time it takes
  A            F#m      D    F#m
But California woke up this morning with a sweet refrain


Chorus 1:
F#m          A
Yellow sun beat on the window
  E               D
The light cut straight through the blinds
    F#m        A
It was love that broke my sorrow
     E        D
Like the day breaks the night


Instrumental:
E A
D A (x3)


Chorus 2:
F#m          A
Yellow sun beat on the window
  E               D
The light cut straight through the blinds
    F#m        A
It was love that broke my sorrow
    E      D  A
Like a day breaks a long night


Outro:
   A              D
In a motel with a bouquet in the ice pail
    A               D
You can tell them I'm doing OK, doing real well
