Standing At A Big Hotel

D                            F7sus4 D
I was standing at a big hotel,
G
Wishing everybody well,
    D                                  A       A7
But if anybody paid me any mind it was hard to tell,
D                          F7sus4 D
A big policeman on his beat,
G                                       D
Pulled his pistol and he pointed at me, looking down the barrel,
                         A7
I could see the gates of hell,
                        D
I was Standing At A Big Hotel.
D                                F7sus4 D
So i went walking down the avenue,
G
Looking for someone that looked like you,
      D                     A         A7
But I never saw a face that seemed to ring a bell,
  D                               F7sus4 D
I stopped beside the five and dime,
     G
Just window-shopping & wasting time,
     D                                           A   A7
When along came a gal who sold me all she had to sell,
                              D
She left me Standing At A Big Hotel.

A                                   D
I lost my mind in the wilds of Hollywood,
  A7                                   D
I did some time in the shadows where I stood,
A               A7              D
I let the cards fall where they fell...
      A                              D
And I found myself Standing At A Big Hotel.

D                                 F7sus4 D
A blind lady with her old tin cup,
G
Had her pencils all sharpened up,
        D                                               A   A7
She was standing in the door just to see what she could sell,
    D                              F7sus4 D
But nobody bought a thing all night,
          G
They just thought she was a pitiful sight,
           D                              A   A7
Though the lord helps a girl who helps herself,
                  D
Standing At A Big Hotel.
D                                     F7sus4 D
Well I know what you're thinking today,
      G
I can feel it though I'm miles away,
D                                  A    A7
Everybody knows I love my southern belle,
             D                          F7sus4 D
But from the east to the wild, wild west,
           G
They say a bird in the hand is best,
   D                                              A  A7
So here I am with a bird dog and a bottle of muscatel,
                  D
Standing At A Big Hotel.

A                                   D
I lost my mind in the wilds of Hollywood,
  A7                                   D
I did some time in the shadows where I stood,
A               A7              D
I let the cards fall where they fell...
      A                              D    F# G7 F#m7
And I found myself Standing At A Big Hotel,
       A                              D
Yeah I found myself Standing At A Big Hotel.
