ST. JAMES HOTEL (Mary Karlzen)
------------------------------
[Actually in F#; capo 4.]
[The A's that follow the G(9)'s have some Asus9's mixed in with them;
 listen to the recording to figure it out exactly.]

D                   G (9 fr.)              A    A
  At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
D                  G (9 fr.)              A                  A
  They say that a gunslinger named Wright died there a long time ago
Em            A                 D               G
  In a poker game one afternoon, he was called out of the room
           Em           Em                       A
  And the cards he held, well they fell to the floor
                 A
  And he don't play cards no more

D                   G (9 fr.)              A    A
  At the St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
D                 G (9 fr.)                   A           A
  They say that Frank and Jesse stayed there a long time ago, and they
Em          A                  D                  G
  Rode into town like two strangers, and no one questioned who they were
Em               Em                A   A
  They needed a night to sleep it off

Em            A                    D                G               (Em)
  I was all alone in the upstairs hall when from behind I heard him call
Em          Em             A        A       (D)
  You must never never sell the St. James Hotel

D                G (9 fr.)              A    A

D                     G (9 fr.)          A       A
  Well I bought this hotel about a year ago
D                    G (9 fr.)             A       A            (Em)
  It was all broken down, and no one ever told of all the ghosts
Em     A                    D                        G
  That still walk the halls, I can hear 'em shooting up the walls
Em           Em               A         A
  And I know I will never sell the St. James Hotel

D                G (9 fr.)              A    A
  The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico
D                G (9 fr.)              A    A
  The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico, ohhhh
D                G (9 fr.)              A    A
  The St. James Hotel outside of Mexico, ohhhh
