Hotel Song Chords by Regina Spektor Yeah, so this song rocks but alas, its simply some drumming and Regina belting out low along with the melody on her keyboard. So, this is my acoustic interpretation of Hotel Play it right and it sounds pretty awesome. Regina Spektor - Hotel Song (Tabbed by Mike Long on 11/24/06) Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Chords used in this song: G G* Em7 Em7* | Am G G* | D C/G G G* | | e--V->--3--3---3---3----C->--0---0---3--3---B->--2--0---3--3--| B--E->--3--0---3---0----H->--1---1---3--0---R->--3--1---3--0--| G--R->--0--0---0---0----O->--2---0---0--0---I->--2--0---0--0--| D--S->--0--0---2---2----R->--2---2---0--0---D->--0--2---0--0--| A--E->--2--2---2---2----U->--0---3---2--2---G->--0--3---2--2--| E--!->--3--3---3---3----S->--x---3---2--2---E->--x--3---2--2--| For the asterisk'd (*) chords, I improvised on the G and Em7 chords, more or less. I what I've labeled Em7 is not really Em7, but we'll call it that just so we can call the chord Em7*....ok?....ok! When making the transition from the G --> G*, simply pull of on the B string, and when from Em7 --> Em7*, do the same. I like playing it slower than the original version, and below is the strumming pattern I works nicely...feel free to strum however you feel like strummin tho ;) For example, this would be the basic structure of the verses: G G* Em7 Em7* e---3-33-333---3-33-333---3-33-333---3-33-333---| B---3-33-333---0-00-000---3-33-333---0-00-000---| G---0-00-000---0-00-000---0-00-000---0-00-000---| D---0-00-000---0-00-000---2-22-222---2-22-222---| A---2-22-222---2-22-222---2-22-222---2-22-222---| E---3-33-333---3-33-333---0-00-000---0-00-000---| Strumming: ===D=DU=UDU===D=DU=UDU===D=DU=UDU===D=DU=UDU=== Pattern Lyric G G* Em7 Em7* Example : Come into my world I've got to show, show, show you NOW PUT IT ALL TOGETHER!! --Intro: G G* G G* Come in, come in. --Verse G G* Em7 Em7* Come into my world I've got to show, show, show you.
