Biography:
The Mayfield Four was formed in the middle of 1996 in Spokane, Washington, by four childhood friends who shared a love for music and performing. They were Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, lead guitar), Craig Johnson (rhythm guitar) (both formerly of Citizen Swing), Marty Meisner (bass guitar), and Zia Uddin (drums). During the Fall of 1996, the band recorded a demo titled Thirty Two Point Five Hours which quickly caught the attention of numerous music-industry professionals

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is way too awesome to not be represented here in some way.
This is intended to be a simplified version of Myles's Mars Hotel acoustic
performance that you can find on YouTube (except for the end, which I've
attempted to adapt to the studio version). Probably a little rough, but
it'll get you through.
Chords:
C#5: x46600
B5: x24400
You should be able to handle the rest yourself.
Mars Hotel
E C#5 B5 A
E
I saw her in an empty bar
C#5
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
B5 A
Trigger visions of her face to this day
E
We tried to dance for years to come
C#5
But two can't lead and waltz as one
B5
We loved and learned and learned to love
A
But it was not enough
A F#m
Foolish pride got in our way
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
A
Don't make me pay for all the past please
E
So now we're living far apart
C#5
I hope to God our paths don't cross
B5 A
This may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak
E
I long to hold her once again
C#5
And reconcile and then give in
B5 A
To realize that later on we made the same mistake
A F#m
Hold on to the lessons you've learned
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
C#5
Don't make me pay for all the past
F#m
So much to tow
E F#m
Bogged down with all the history to hold
C#5 F#m
The blame fell hard on me
E
Apologies were too short lived
F#m A
She never really could forgive mistakes
E C#5 B5 A F#
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
A F#m
Don't make me pay for all the past
E
She took my heart, she took my soul
C#5
She took my fragile hand to hold
B5
She took advantage all the time
A F#m E
I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind
C#5 B5 A
And there you go. Not sure about those ending chords and a few of those
F#m chords may be something different, but if you play it like this it
sounds fine. Enjoy!
