Melody Motel Squeeze
He drove up to the motel in his town & country car
[E] [E7] [A]
He watched the working women with the field hands from the farm
[A] [A7] [D] [C#m] [Bm]
He walked into the lobby with his pleased to see you smile
[Bm] [E] [A]
Scribbled on to the register his fictitious name & smiled
The footsteps of the young girl came tapping along the hall
The outline of his features were shadowed on the wall
She stood a little nervous half lit by the neon light
That flashed in many colours through the darkness of the night
[E] [E7] [F#m]
The skin on his face like a well worn saddle
[D] [A] [E]
Smiled as he said goodnight
[D] [A] [Bm] [F#m]
At the Melody Motel it was business as usual
[Bm] [E] [A]
As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes.
His shirt lay by the bedside, his jeans down by his feet.
She swallowed hard & mumbled with the key between her teeth
On went the television, the picture flickering slow
Top Cat in the alleyway, as they sat there all alone.
He drove back up his driveway in his town & country car
His wife was cooking chicken with a baby in her arms
The smell of home cooked dinner filled the air at home that night
Screaming Officer Dibble, in the TV's flickering light
Instumental

[Bb] [F]
Slumped in his favourite armchair, his face grey as stone
[F] [F7] [Bb]
His feet upon the table, next to the chicken bones
[Bb] [Bb7] [Eb] [Dm] [Cm]
He seemed to show no feelings picking corn out from his teeth
[Cm] [F] [Bb]
The police down at the motel as the blood dried on the sheets.
[F] [F7] [Gm]
The skin on his face like a well worn saddle
[Eb] [Bb] [F]
Smiled as he said goodnight
[Eb] [Bb] [Cm] [Gm]
At the Melody Motel it was business as usual
[Cm] [F] [Gb] [Ab] [Bb]
As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes.
[Eb] [Bb] [Cm] [Gm]
At the Melody Motel it was business as usual

As the girls wiped the tears

As the girls wiped the tears from their eyes.
