Old Lucky Diamond Motel chords by Vince Gill

Verse 1:
E                A
Out on Route 66, way back to the sticks
E                      B
Out on the old Chisolm trail
E                    A
Just east of El Reno next to Ted's Escondido
E                 B       E
Sat the old Lucky Diamond Motel
E                   A
Lucille and Madonna slinging cheese enchiladas
E                          B
Chain smoking non-filtered Pall Malls
E                         A
Old men shooting pool and cursing like fools
E                B       E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel

Chorus:
E                           A
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
E                           B
The Queen of the old mother road
E                          A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E                B       E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel


Verse 2:
E                                       A
There's air streams and truckers and two timing lovers
E                     B
Teenagers out raising hell
E                                  A
There's cowboys and shriners and old five and dimers
E                B       E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
E               A
Room 23 was the first time for me
E                     B
A stripper named Rita Cantrell
E                       A
I spent all of my money on that sweet Spanish honey
E                B       A
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel


Chorus:
E                           A
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
E                           B
The Queen of the old mother road
E                          A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E                B       E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel


Verse 3:
E                 A
Oh the sign said, we doze but we never do close
E                           B
I remember her red dress so well
E                        A
Old Rita's passed on, the neon sign's gone
E                B       E
At the old Lucky Diamond Motel
E                               A
There's a big wrecking ball, Just tore down the wall,
E                  B
A piece of America fell
E                           A
Now I'm all for progress, but god knows that I miss
E             B       E
The old Lucky Diamond Motel


Chorus:
E                           A
Yeah the old Lucky Diamond, Lucky Diamond Motel
E                           B
The Queen of the old mother road
E                          A
There's color TV and the kids eat for free
E                B       E
