[Intro]
Cadd9 Gsus4 Cadd9 Gsus4
[Verse]
C6/9 F/G
I've got a blue motel room with a blue bedspread
Eb/F F13
I've got the blues inside and outside my head
Db/Eb Eb13
Will you still love me
F/G C6/9 F/G
When I call you up when I'm down
[Verse]
C6/9 F/G
Here in Savannah it's pouring rain
Eb/F F13
Palm trees in the porch light like slick black cellophane
Db/Eb Eb13
Will you still love me
F/G C6/9
When I call you up when I get back to town
[Bridge]
Bbmaj7
I know that you've got all those pretty girls coming on
F/G G13
Hanging on your boom-boom-pachyderm
Eb/F F13
Will you tell those girls that you've got German Measles
C6/9
Honey, tell them you've got germs
F/G
I hope you'll be thinking of me
G13
Because I'll be thinking of you
Ab/Bb Bb13
While I'm traveling home alone
Db/Eb Eb13 F/G
Tell those girls that you've got Joni
C6/9 F/G
She's coming back home
[Instrumental]
C6/9 F/G Eb/F F13
Db/Eb Eb13 F/G C6/9
[Verse]
C6/9 F/G
I've got road maps from two dozen states
Eb/F F13
I've got coast to coast just to contemplate
Db/Eb Eb13
Will you still love me
F/G C6/9
When I get back to town
[Verse]
C6/9 F/G
It's funny how these old feelings hang around
Eb/F F13
You think they're gone, no, no, they just go underground
Db/Eb Eb13
Will you still love me
F/G C6/9
When I get back to L.A town
[Bridge]
Bbmaj7
You and me, we're like America and Russia
F/G G13
We're always keeping score
Eb/F F13
We're always balancing the power
C6/9
And that can get to be a cold cold war
F/G G13
We're going to have to hold ourselves a peace talk
Ab/Bb Bb13
In some neutral café
Db/Eb Eb13 F/G
You lay down your sneaking round the town honey
C6/9
And I'll lay down the highway
[Outro]
Cadd9
I've got a blue motel room with a blue bedspread
Gsus4
I've got the blues inside and outside my head
Gsus4 Cadd9
Will you still love me when I get back to town?
