   F                       C
   I live in a room with a green 
radio,
   G                      
   Curled in the womb of a 
 C
twenty-nine year low
   F                       C      
   Four walls from heaven, and one
          Am
 sin from hell
      C                 G        
   In room seventeen at Deguello 
C
Motel


Am                              
The desk clerk's a jerk, an old 
Em
carnival fellow,
F                                
I ask where're you from, he said 
C
Lake Isabella
F                              
I told him I'd been there, but I 
        C
never had
                            G      
He looked at the clock, and I 
      C
signed the pad.


Am                               
He said, "No dogs allowed," so I 
Em
bought me a fish
F                       C
He lives by my bed in a souvenir 
dish
F                           C
Swims 'round in circles and eats 
once a day
                           G      
And looks a lot like my ex-wife's 
C
fiance.

Am                       Em
And there's a wasteland across the 
highway
F                                 
Where the lot lizards** roam and 
   C
the big diesels stay
F                              C
The cops ask me questions, and I 
tell them jokes
And that fat one, he's always 
 G           C
a-bummin' my smokes


Am                             Em
And the swimming pool water is Chuck
 Berry green
F                             
And the water pipes rattle like 
    C
Keith Richard's spleen
F                                
The walls are blood-red, and the 
C
sheets are Velveeta
And that girl in 112 (one-twelve), 
    G       C
she goes by Juanita

Am                               
Juanita's a dancer, she does the 
Em
naked ballet
F                       C
I keep an eye on things while she's 
away
F                             C
She spends all her money, and half 
of mine, too
Tryin' to get high enough to get 
G         C
naked for you

Am                                
There's an old Mexican dirge this 
Em
place is named after
F                            C
And I heard it once in a box office 
disaster
F                             
The Duke told his boys, said it 
  C
means leave or die
I don't know much Spanish, but John 
            G
Wayne don't lie
