VERSE:
  G            F
In `46 we moved out here to Beaumont
 C               G
Start a little business of our own
 G                F
They built a freeway through in `62
 C                  G
Everything we had`s now is lost and gone

  G                  F
I see the men in the distance from my window
 C                 G
Faces in the cars look straight ahead
   G            F
They roll on by too loud for comfort
     C            G
But too far away to rent a motel bed

CHORUS:
G               F
So, if you`re passing on your way
   C        G
From Palm Springs to LA.

    C        D
Give a wave to good ol` Dave
 C       D
Say hello to progress
     C     D        G
And good bye to the Moonlight Motor Inn

VERSE:
 G            F
Mother`s sleeping in the back room
C                 G
TV show as are the only life she has
   G             F
Her son`s now a captain in the Air Force
       C                  G
And he can`t find the time to write his proud ol` dad

   G                  F
Our daughter wants to leave the place at eighteen
     C              G
And run away with a jobless Beaumont man
  G           F
To hitch hike out of California
      C             G
And make a life in the Rocky Mountain land


CHORUS:
G               F
So, if you`re passing on your way
   C        G
From Palm Springs to LA.

    C        D
Give a wave to good ol` Dave
 C       D
Say hello to progress
     C     D        G
And good bye to the Moonlight Motor Inn

VERSE:
   G            F
The sun comes up behind the freeway
       C               G
And dad sits down by the dried up swimming pool

 G               F
Can`t make the payments on the mortgage
 C             G
Cant turn the red ink into blue

 G               F
Weeds are growing through the gravel
     C                  G
And the blacktops cracked and partly washed away
   G               F
Our neon sign points in the wrong direction
   C                G
The Moonlight Motor Inn closed down today


CHORUS:
G               F
So, if you`re passing on your way
   C        G
From Palm Springs to LA.

    C        D
