Motel Blues

C      G      D      G

[Verse 1]
C                G
  Same old room,   same old town,
D              G
  same old man   along with a frown.
C                G
  Day old bread,   day old snow,
D                               G
  day old sheets got me feeling low.

[Chorus]
D           C             G
  Sometimes I sleep in my shoes,
D             C               G
  sometimes I get these Motel   Blues.

[Verse 2]
C                    G
  Lock up that door,   lock up my mind,
D                     G
  lock up that thief,   he’s in 309.
C                             G
  These walls are thin, yeah,   but these walls are mine;
D                                    G
  thank God these walls they do confine.

[Chorus]
D           C             G
  Sometimes I sleep in my shoes,
D             C               G              G
  sometimes I get these Motel   Blues.

[Interlude]
C      G      D      G
C      G      D      G

[Verse 3]
C                      G
  She’s made to order,   she’s made for fun;
D                       G
  the maid she wants us out by one.
C                      G
  Check out time, hey,   check out these,
D                                      G
  sometimes my life it brings me to my knees.

[Chorus]
D           C             G
  Sometimes I sleep in my shoes,
D           C                      G
  sometimes I’m just spreading the news.

[Outro]
D                  C
  Sometimes, baby, I just lit the fuse,
D                       C       G
  sometimes I get these   Motel Blues.
D             C               G              G
  Sometimes I get these Motel Blues.
