Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Don't be bothered at all about getting the strumming patterns precise,
just use my verse as a rough guide. In the first bar, as long as you
get the hammer-ons then it should sound fine. I've put a measure in
that Jack once played live, you can develop on that if you want.

I was watching with one eye on the other side
D
I had fifteen people telling me to move

I found shelter in some thoughts turning wheels around

I said thirty-nine times that 'I love you'
G
To the beauty I had found Well It's


[Chorus]

One two three four take the elevator at the
C
Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later
D G F5 G
All they got inside is vacancy


Jack played this after the first verse once, live.

They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house

Stomping our feet on the wooden boards

Never gonna worry about locking the door Well it's

Verse 2:
Well, I've been thinkin'
All about a little place down by the lake
They got a dirty old road leadin' up to the house
How long will it take 'til we're alone
Sittin' on the front porch of that home
Stompin' our feet on the wooden boards
Never gotta worry about lockin' the door

Chorus

Yes, ma'am!
