“Motel Mood” by Mike Viola guitar chords. Tabbed by Todd Jasko. www.candybutchers.com I’m sure I missed some and oversimplified others, but this will get you playing along. comments and suggestions to [email protected] Notes: Fadd9 = 3123xx, and I play Bm7 = 032x2x for this song. Also, on a lot of the G at the end of the progression, you can ornament the chord to make it sound like the by moving your finger on the A string to D string briefly. Try it and hopefully you’ll hear what I mean. Standard tuning, Capo on 2nd fret Intro: Bm7 E Am Fmaj7 (x2) G C D/F# G New York City has all been done G C D/F# C It's stretched out like a cat, sleeping in the sun We've gotta get away from this two-footed beast Surfing these canyons with boards nailed to his feet Hotels are for lovers who want to relive the first time When they discover little soap as souvenirs, they wash the dreams out of their eyes Motels are for lovers who don't want a home away from home Just a place to leave something down at the side of the road Chorus Bm7 E Am Fmaj7 (2nd time is Fadd9) Audrey, put away your heart Put away your heart G C D/F# G C'mon angel, let's fly out of this room I'm in a motel mood C'mon baby, I'll give you something to lose G C D/F# C I'm in a motel mood We'll sink quarters in the magic fingers 'till the old bed stalls We'll play hide-the-maid beneath these wood-paneled walls We'll let our tears fill the bathtub for the landlocked martyrs Everything looks bigger underwater Chorus C'mon baby, we'll strap your wings to my shoes I'm in a motel mood If your momma was around she'd wash our mouths out with soap And if my daddy was alive, he'd string us up by this rope So pack up our playthings, collect our marbles And leave the roadside flowers in these Listerine bottles Chorus
