                           [ch]F7sus4[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI was standing at a big hotel,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nWishing everybody well,[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                                  [ch]A[/ch]       [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nBut if anybody paid me any mind it was hard to tell,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                          [ch]F7sus4[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nA big policeman on his

[ch]A7[/ch]\r\nI could see the gates of hell,[/tab]\r\n[tab]                        [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI was Standing At A Big Hotel.[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                [ch]F7sus4[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nSo i went walking down the avenue,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nLooking for someone that looked like you,[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]                     [ch]A[/ch]         [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nBut I never saw a face that seemed to ring a bell,[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                               [ch]F7sus4[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI stopped beside the five and dime,[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nJust window-shopping & wasting time,[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]                                           [ch]A[/ch]   [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nWhen along came a gal

[ch]G[/ch]\r\nThey just thought she was a pitiful sight,[/tab]\r\n[tab]           [ch]D[/ch]                              [ch]A[/ch]   [ch]A7[/ch]\r\nThough the lord helps a girl who helps
