Intro:

DmDm


Verse 1:

DmDm
The sun was down, the mist was high
DmDm
I just kissed my love goodbye
A minorAm
She was off to chase a will
DmDm
From an uncle in west Brazil

DmDm
So there I was, all alone
DmDm
Another week away from home
A minorAm
Walking down some foggy street
DmDm
Looking out for a place to sleep

C majorC                    FF      A minorAm     G minorGm
But a sound through the wind was carried well (oh so well)
  C#7C#7           A augmentedA     DmDm
The squeaking sign of Quay Hotel


Verse 2:

DmDm
Well the lights were dim, the lifts were slow
DmDm
Still people, they come and go
A minorAm
Full of whispers and shady deals
DmDm
Pouring out over greasy meals

DmDm
Then evening came, and songs would flow
DmDm
From the lady at 'le grande piano'
A minorAm
But the voice of Lilli-Ann
DmDm
Sounds suspiciously like a man

C majorC               FF        A minorAm     A7A7
Funny how I never heard those songs (all those songs)
                  DmDm
But they knew them well - in Quay Hotel

DmDm Dm DmDm C majorC
A minorAm DmDm Dm


Verse 3:

DmDm
Well the song and dance went raving on
DmDm
But I kept feeling there was something wrong
A minorAm
For the look on every face
DmDm
Put a gloom on this eerie place

DmDm
Nervously they seemed to wait
DmDm
For some dramatic unknown fate
A minorAm
They seemed to know their every stand
DmDm
Like a spring-winding monkey band

DmDm
I ran up to the door and tried to turn the keys
DmDm
But a porter said, 'This way, please
A minorAm
Retire to your room
DmDm
For your turn will be coming soon.'

C majorC               FF      A minorAm     A7A7
And the night began to feel so long (oh so long)
                  DmDm
I didn't sleep so well - in Quay Hotel

DmDm Dm DmDm C majorC A minorAm
DmDm Dm A minorAm DmDm
Dm DmDm A minorAm DmDm

DmDm
I knew I was a mistaken face
DmDm
In this macabre waiting place
A minorAm
For the guests of this Hotel
DmDm
Are checked in by the tolling bell
C majorC                 FF    A minorAm    A7A7
For I awoke in the same old foggy street
                  DmDm
Without a trace in hell - of Quay Hotel

DmDm Dm DmDm C majorC
A minorAm DmDm
Dm
