David Francey - Cheap Motel
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F C G F C
F
Behind the stairs and the Coke machine
C G
Down in the corner, sight unseen
F C
In the cheap motel
F
Its concrete walls, concrete walks
C G
Concrete halls and concrete blocks
F C
In the cheap motel
F
The girl at the desk, she's learning guitar
C G
Watching the faces, counting the cars
F C
In the cheap motel
F
Works by herself, likes it alone
C G
Eyes looking through you, harder than stone
F C
In the cheap motel
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G F C (2x)
CHORUS:
F C
That highway sings, that highway moans
F G
All the lonely hearts on the highway home
C F
The ice machine, she's broken down
C G
And we're stuck out here on the edge of town
F C
In the cheap motel
F
It's checkout time and they're on their way
C G
And we're still here for another day
F C
In the cheap motel
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G F C (2x)
CHORUS:
F C
That highway sings, that highway moans
F G
All the lonely hearts on the highway home
C F
The Chicano maid, she's feeling good
C G
Got a sister that works in Hollywood
F C
Not the cheap motel
F
The window's barred and the doors are locked
C G
Time stands still on a broken clock
F C
In the cheap motel
