Motel Blues

the whole song follows the same pattern . listen to the recording or videos for the flourishes and picking . the original song is capo 5 , but some live recordings on youtube are capo 3 . standard tuning . G D in this town , television shuts off at two G D what can a lonely rock and roller do? A the bed is big , the sheets are clean , Asus4 your girlfriend said you were nineteen , G D the styrofoam ice bucket’s full of ice , C Em D come up to my motel room , treat me nice . i don’t want to make no late night new york calls , i don’t want to stare at those ugly grass matte walls , chronologically i know you’re young , but when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue , i’ll put a song for you and put it on my next lp , come up to my motel room , sleep with me . there’s a bible in the drawer don’t be afraid , i’ll put up a sign to warn the clean up maid , there’s lots of soap and lots of towels , never mind those desk clerk scowls , i’ll buy you breakfast , they’ll think you’re my wife , come up to my motel room , save my life .
