Richard Shindell - The Next Best Western



INTRO: G   C   G   D   G   C   Am   G  D  G

                             C
It's the middle of the night
                 Am
Near the Indiana line
                 D                 G
I'm pulling in a Christian station
                     C
The signal's crystal clear
                    Am
But I cannot really hear
                  D             Am
What he says about the Revelation
                    Bm
I am wretched, I am tired
                       C
But the preacher is on fire
                     G  D
And I wish I could believe

CHORUS:
                     Am        C         C-D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
                         Am     C       C-Am
Show a little mercy for a weary sinner
               D                Am
And deliver me, Lord deliver me
             C              G        C   Am   D   G
Deliver me to the next Best Western


                    C
Did he who made the lamb
                       Am
Put the tremble in the hand
                        D            G
That reaches out to take my quarter
                  C
I look him in the eye
                Am
There isn't any time
                D                  Am
Just time enough to pass the tender
                      Bm
The highway takes its toll
                        C
The green light flashes go
                      G D
And it's 'Welcome To Ohio'


CHORUS:
                     Am        C         C-D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
                         Am     C       C-Am
Show a little mercy for a weary sinner
               D                Am
And deliver me, Lord deliver me
             C              G        C
Deliver me to the next Best Western___


BRIDGE:
        Am                             D                 G        C
It takes light years of nothing to let these stars shine through
              G                   Am        G   G-D
It's an empty road that finds it's way back home   to you


INSTRUMENTAL: D  Am  C-G-D  Am  C-G-Am  Bm  C  G  D  C  G


                   C
At four a.m. on 80 East
                          Am
It's in the nature of the beast
                    D               Am
To wonder if there's something missing
                    Bm
I am wretched, I am tired
                       C
But the preacher is on fire
                     G  D
And I wish I could believe


CHORUS:
                     Am        C         C-D
Whoever watches over all these truckers
                         Am     C       C-Am
Show a little mercy for a weary sinner
               D                Am
And deliver me, Lord deliver me
             C              G        C
Deliver me to the next Best Western___
                G         C
To the next Best Western___
                G         Am G C G D
