The Rose Hotel Robert Earl Keen
THE ROSE HOTEL
Robert Earl Keen
[(G)] [(C)] [(G)] [(C)]
(G) He was walkin' through the (D) alley way
Where the (C) drifters sleep and the (G) wild dogs play
(Am) The moon was black, the (C) sky was grey
He thought he was a(D)lone
(G) She was waiting at the (D) Rose hotel
a(C)cross the street from the (G) wishing well
(Am) Turned the latched and (C) broke the nail
Checked her mobile (D) phone
Chorus
(C) Sometimes you (G) run, (D) sometimes you (Em) stall
(C) Sometimes you (G) don't get up at (D) all
(C) Sometimes you (D) run, sometimes you (G) fall
He bought a ticket on the uptown train
Got off at 8th and Birmingham
Wonder if she gave a damn
About him anymore
She hadn't seen him in a year or so
Why he called she did not know
She had the oldies on the radio
And someone at the door
Chorus
He threw a nickel in the wishin' well
crossed the street to the Rose hotel
Got no answer when he rang the bell
So he gave a little shout
Tiny watched him with a baseball bat
A cheap cigar and a persian cat
Told him it was too bad that
She had just checked out
Chorus
