Hotel Yorba Guitar Tablature
 
 Don't be bothered at all about getting the strumming patterns precise,
just use my verse as a rough guide. In the first bar, as long as you
get the hammer-ons then it should sound fine. I've put a measure in
that Jack once played live, you can develop on that if you want.

          G
  I got movin' on my mind

           G                  C      
  I found shelter in some thoughts turning wheels around

                D           
  I said thirty-nine times that 'I love you' 
 
             G
  To the beauty I had found      Well It's

   Verse 2 
            G                    C           
  I've been thinking of a little place down by the lake

                D         
  They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house

           G  
  I wonder how long it will take
               
               G                   C 
  'Till we're alone sittin' on the front porch of that home

  D                       
  Stomping our feet on the wooden boards
  
   G  
  Never gonna worry about locking the door    Well it's


   Chorus
  G                   
  One two three four take the elevator at the 

  C                               
  Hotal Yorba I'll be glad to see you later

                 G                     C                   
  It might sound silly for me to think childish thought like these

       D                                    G  
  But I'm so tired of acting tough, and I'm gonna do what I please


   Verse 3
            G                    C   
  Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest

           D  
  'Cos if I'm the man that you love the most
     
            G 
  You could say 'I do' at least      Well it's

  G 
  One two three four take the elevator at the 

   C
  Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later

  D                      G
  All they got inside is vacancy         And it's

  G             
  Four five six seven grab you umbrella

  C          
  Grab hold of me 'cos I'm your favourite fella

  D                            G C G D G
  All they got inside is vacancy
