Chords for Elton John - Holiday Inn ('71 LIVE at BBC Studios)

[G] The next song is about traveling in America _ _ and
When you sort of do 10 or 11 week tours of America you sort of get in a hotel
You get on a plane you do the gig and you get up and you leave the hotel and you get on another plane
And this is a story about a chain of hotels
It's really advertising, but the most musicians who go over to United States usually stay in because every town has one and they're called Holiday Inn's
_ _ The title of the song
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Bustin' it last [D] and the planes [A] touching down _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Our hostess is handin' the [D] hot towels [A] around _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] From a terminal _ gate [C#m] to a black [Bm] _ _
limousine
_ [A] _ It's _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] a ten-minute ride [D] to the Holiday [A] _ Inn _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ Boredom's the pass time [D] the ones soon [A] _
acquired _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Where [E] you get to the stage [D] where you're not even [A] _ _
tired _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ Kickin' your heels [C#m] till the time [Bm] comes _ around _
To _ _ _ _ _
[E] pick up your _ [D] bags and head out of [A] _
town _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ So [D] loud, yo!
I'm a rock and roll [A] _
man
_ I _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ sweat on [D] my thumbs in a dug-out [A] band
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] You ain't seen [E] nothin' till you've been [F#m] in a mall town, baby
[D] _
Like the Holiday [A] _ _
Inn
_ _ [G] Oh, _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [E] I don't even know [D] if it's Cleveland [A] or Maine _ _
Well, _ _ _ _ _ [E] the building's as big [D] and the room's [A] just the same, yeah
_ And _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] the TV don't work [C#m] and the french fries are [Bm] _ cold _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Had room service _ [D] closed about an [A] hour _ _ ago _ _ _
So _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] loud, yo!
_ I'm a rock and [A] roll _ man
_ I _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ sweat on [D] my thumbs in a dug-out [A] band
_ _ _ You _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
ain't seen [E] nothin' till you've been _ [F#m] _
in a mall town, [A] baby
_ [D] _
Like the [A] Holiday _ _ Inn
So loud, _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] yo!
I'm a rock and roll man
_ _ I _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
