# Railway Hotel (Justin Hayward)
#(3/4 time)

We went to the room and we bolted the door
E A7
The bass from the jukebox was coming through the floor
D A7 D G D
And out through the walls we could still hear the roar of the trains

D A7 D
Was this all the comfort we got for our sins
E A7
No candles, no waiters, no soft violins
D A7 D G D C
The dirty electric convector plugged into the mains
D A D
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
G D AD
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
A D
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
G D AD
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel

D A7 D
Away in the sky were the lights of a jet
E A7
Burning in the night like a slow cigarette
D A7 D G D
A lamp in the street threw a soft silhouette on the wall
CDGD
D A7 D
And though it was crumbling and run down and dead
E A7
A chair and a sink and an old single bed
D A7 D G D C
The love we began and the things that we said I recall
D A D
I had wanted much more for the first night with you
G D AD
But the Railway Hotel was the best I could do
A D
I knew the Savoy would have suited you well
G D GD
But the best I could do was the Railway Hotel
