[3/4 time]
RE LA7 RE
We went to the room and we bolted the door
MI LA7
The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor
RE LA7 RE SOL RE / /
And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains
DO / / RE / SOL RE / /
RE LA7 RE
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins
MI LA7
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins
RE LA7 RE SOL RE / / DO / /
The dirty electric convector plugged into the mains
RE LA RE
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
SOL RE / / LA7 / / RE / /
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
LA RE
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
SOL RE / / LA7 / / RE / /
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
SOL / / RE / / DO / / RE / SOL RE / /
RE LA7 RE
Away in the sky were the lights of a jet
MI LA7
Burning in the night like a slow cigarette
RE LA7 RE SOL RE / /
A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall
DO / / RE / SOL RE / /
RE LA7 RE
And though it was crumbling and run down and dead
MI LA7
A chair and a sink and an old single bed
RE LA7 RE SOL RE / / DO / /
The love we began and the things that we said I recall
RE LA RE
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
SOL RE / / LA7 / / RE / /
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
LA RE
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
SOL RE / / SOL / / RE
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
