                      Railway Hotel    (Justin Hayward)
[3/4 time]

         D (xx0232@1)         A7 (x02020@1)        D (xx0232@1)    We went to the room and we bolted the door

          E (022100@1)                       A7 (x02020@1)    The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor

          D (xx0232@1)             A7 (x02020@1)            D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)/  /
     And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains

     C (x32010@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)/  /

           D (xx0232@1)         A7 (x02020@1)       D (xx0232@1)    Was this all the comfort we got for our sins

         E (022100@1)                     A7 (x02020@1)    No candles, no waiters, no soft violins

          D (xx0232@1)    A7 (x02020@1)       D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)/  /  C (x32010@1)/  /
     The dirty electric convector plugged into the mains

    D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)                           D (xx0232@1)    I had wanted much more for the first night with you

                        G (320003@1)                      D (xx0232@1)/  /  A7 (x02020@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  /
     But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do

                   A (x02220@1)                       D (xx0232@1)    I knew the Savoy would have suited you well

                           G (320003@1)                  D (xx0232@1)/  /  A7 (x02020@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  /
     But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel

     G (320003@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  /  C (x32010@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)/  /

       D (xx0232@1)        A7 (x02020@1)          D (xx0232@1)    Away in the sky were the lights of a jet

      E (022100@1)                         A7 (x02020@1)    Burning in the night like a slow cigarette

        D (xx0232@1)           A7 (x02020@1)         D (xx0232@1)       G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)/  /
     A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall

     C (x32010@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1)/  /

           D (xx0232@1)           A7 (x02020@1)         D (xx0232@1)    And though it was crumbling and run down and dead

         E (022100@1)                   A7 (x02020@1)    A chair and a sink and an old single bed

          D (xx0232@1)       A7 (x02020@1)         D (xx0232@1)           G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)/  /  C (x32010@1)/  /
     The love we began and the things that we said I recall

    D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)                           D (xx0232@1)    I had wanted much more for the first night with you

                        G (320003@1)                      D (xx0232@1)/  /  A7 (x02020@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)/  /
     But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do

                   A (x02220@1)                       D (xx0232@1)    I knew the Savoy would have suited you well

                           G (320003@1)                  D (xx0232@1)/  /  G (320003@1)/  /  D (xx0232@1)    But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
