Artist/Band: Wilco Tabs
Song: Hot Rod Hotel Tab
Em G C Am
I'm a porter and a night clerk at the old Hot Rod Hotel
C Am B Em
I clean and scrub the lobby down and thirty-one rooms as well
Em G
I wax and shine their boots and shoes
C Am
I brush down their crinkly clothes
C Am B Em
And I meet the buses and trains and I show you to your door
Em G C Am
Bell-bottom pants brought two boys in at six-fourteen last night
C Am B Em
Two girls checked in at ten-oh-two and I flipped on the light
Em G C Am
The lamrod's wife looks in their doors and finds one terrible sight
Am C B Em
Those boys and girls got bawled up in their doors and rooms that night
Bridge: D Em G Em x2
A bloody flood could never mess these rooms up any worse
It looked like Moe had used this room to grease and breed a horse
Old gum and hairs and sticky rags, old bottles on the floors
Gobs of spit and condom rubbers on the windows, walls, and doors
The lammy tried to make me clean out that crappy mess
Or else he'd fire me off my job and let me starve to death
I laid aside my polish rag and I downed my dusting pan
And I've not seen the old Hot Rod nor that old town since then
