HANGDOG HOTEL ROOM—Gordon Lightfoot
VERSE 1.
CI go in for singin’, DI do it for my pay
But the Fkind of gig I can Creally dig 
Happens Gat the break of day
With a Cfew good friends and Bbneighbours 
Into Fplayin’ the night-time Ctunes
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel roCom.
VERSE 2.
CI believe in magic, a liDttle monkey-shines,
But the Fkind of row I can reCally hoe 
Is Gplayin’ in tune on time,
With Crhythms all aBbround us we’re like Fweavers at the Cloom,
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel Croom.
CHORUS 1.
COh Lord it Bbfeels so good to Fplay a night-time Ctune
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel Croom.
VERSE 3.
CWhen it comes to morning and Dgoing out at night,
Well the Fkind of test that CI like best 
Is Gtreating the wrong girl right.
And a Cfew good friends and Bbneighbours 
Into Fplayin’ the night-time Ctunes
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel Croom.
CHORUS 2
COh Lord it Bbfeels so good to Fplay a night-time Ctune
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel Croom.
With Crhythms all Bbaround us we’re like Fweavers at the Cloom,
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog hotel Croom.
So Fpass the jar and that Cold guitar 
In this Ghangdog ---- Chotel room.
