The Church - Hotel Womb


Intro Strum 4 times: D, Dsus2, Cadd9

D                  Dsus2
Volcano pierce the air
Cadd9
ashes block out the sun
D
Down in the lair
       Dsus2
well I met her there
       Cadd9
With a price for everyone
  D                            Dsus2
I paid eighty dollars for this wedding ring
  Cadd9
I couldn't take it off if I tried
        D                  Dsus2
And the cactus sure tastes strangely sweet
      Cadd9
As it goes down inside


Em             Cadd9
I'll dream I'm safe
      G
In my hotel womb
Em            Cadd9
Soft and soul made
       G
It's a wonderful room

D                       Dsus2
A sudden voltage in the night 
       Cadd9
with a rainforest girl
      D                       Dsus2              
As we float downstream to the Amazon River
          Cadd9
Where the black waters swirl
       D                  Dsus2
I say, why are you people wearing those masks?
       Cadd9
I say, can we be reconciled?
             D                          Dsus2
She says the mother of the storm has to roam the sky
Cadd9
Searching for her child


Em             Cadd9
I'll dream I'm safe
      G
In my hotel womb
Em            Cadd9
Soft and soul made
       G
It's a wonderful room
Em         Cadd9
I wish I'm back
      G
In my hotel womb
Em               Cadd9
Slip through the crack
        G
To that wonderful room

(Guitar Solo) - Bridge: "Make the shape of Fmaj7 (F chord with open high E)
Then move your hand up the neck so your index finger is on the fifth fret.  This
is an open A chord.  The chords you'll play are: A C/A D9/A Bbaug4/A.  But they're
all the same chord shape, with the index finger on these frets: 5, then 8
then 10 then 6."

D, Dsus2, Cadd9 (twice)

D                Dsus2
Morning comes at last
          Cadd9
and she's lying by my side
              D                            Dsus2
She's got the face of the widow that keeps following me
        Cadd9
And the body of my bride
       D                       Dsus2
I say, why are those buildings swaying like trees?
       Cadd9
I say, can we stop for a while?
          D                              Dsus2
She says, can't you hear the city that's hidden in there?
     Cadd9
It's just another mile

Em             Cadd9
I'll dream I'm safe
      G
In my hotel womb
Em            Cadd9
Soft and soul made
       G
It's a wonderful room
Em         Cadd9
I wish I'm back
      G
In my hotel womb
Em               Cadd9
Slip through the crack
        G
To that wonderful room
