Sitting in My Hotel The Kinks
If my friends could se[C]e me now, driving round just like [C6]a film star,
In a [C7]chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would [G]laugh.
[Dm7] They would all be [G7]saying that it?s [C]not really [G]me.
[Dm7] They would all be [G7]asking who I?m [C]trying to [G]be.
If my [C]friends could see me now, looking [C6]out my hotel window,
Dressed in [C7]satin strides and two-tone daisy [F]roots.
[F]If my friends could [C]see me now I [Dm7]know they would [C]smile.
