Pull back them dark and dusty drapes,

And let in some light.

Tell the bell-boy come and get my trunk

'Cause I'm leavin' here tonight.

I packed my bags and paid my bill,

And I'm turnin' in my key.

             G                                      C
And if those sad souls down in the lobby ask for me-e,

Just tell'em

I ain't gonna live on lonely street no more (no more).

Where teardrops ain't soakin' the floor.

So, take down my suitcase and hand me my hat.

Give that desk-clerk a dime.

And you can just tell him that I'm

Ab            Db
Well, you can give that sad bellboy

Bb Ab
My bee-bop blues guitar,

'Cause I'm only gonna sing them sweet songs

         Db
From now on, yeah.

And you can tell that old bartender

                 Ab
He might as well close down the bar,

                                          Db
Cause "Chug-a-Luggin' Sally's" packed an' gone.

             Ab
Through that gray windowpane,

   Db
It always looked like rain,

            Eb                     Ab
But there's sunshine outside I can tell.

So open up that door, I've leavin'

      Gb
An' I won't be back no more.

            Ab                       Db
I'm checkin' out of the heartbreak hotel.

         Ab          Gb           Gb Db
Checkin' out of this heartbreak hotel.
