Standing At A Big Hotel

D                            
I was standing at a big 
F7sus4 D
hotel,
G
Wishing everybody well,
    D                              
But if anybody paid me any mind it 
    A       A7
was hard to tell,
D                          F7sus4 D
A big policeman on his beat,
G                                 
Pulled his pistol and he pointed 
      D
at me, looking down the barrel,
                         A7
I could see the gates of hell,
                        D
I was Standing At A Big Hotel.

D                                
So i went walking down the 
F7sus4 D
avenue,
G
Looking for someone that looked like
 you,
      D                     A     
But I never saw a face that seemed
    A7
 to ring a bell,
  D                               
I stopped beside the five and 
F7sus4 D
dime,
     G
Just window-shopping & wasting time,
     D                           
When along came a gal who sold me 
                A   A7
all she had to sell,
                              D
She left me Standing At A Big Hotel.

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

[Verse]
D                                 
A blind lady with her old tin cup,
F7sus4 D

G
Had her pencils all sharpened up,
        D                          
She was standing in the door just 
                     A   A7
to see what she could sell,
    D                              
But nobody bought a thing all 
F7sus4 D
night,
          G
They just thought she was a pitiful 
sight,
           D                    
Though the lord helps a girl who 
          A   A7
helps herself,
                  D
Standing At A Big Hotel.

D                              
Well I know what you're thinking 
       F7sus4 D
today,
      G
I can feel it though I'm miles away,
D                                  
Everybody knows I love my southern 
A    A7
belle,
             D                     
But from the east to the wild, wild
     F7sus4 D
 west,
           G
They say a bird in the hand is best,
   D                               
So here I am with a bird dog and a 
               A  A7
bottle of muscatel,
                  D
Standing At A Big Hotel.

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