Holiday Inn - Elton John
Madman Across the Water album
[Verse 1]
E                         D              A
Boston at last and the plane's touching down
E                          D             A
Our hostess is handing the hot towels around
F#m                     C#m             Bm   Bm7
From a terminal gate to a black limousine
E                              D          A
It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn
[Verse 2]
E                         D              A
Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired
E                         D              A
Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired
F#m                     C#m             Bm   Bm7
Kicking your heels till the time comes around
E                          D            A     A/B A/C#
To pick up your bags and head out of town
[Chorus]
G            D                        A
  Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man
G                   D                     A       A/B A/C#
  I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
D                           E
  And you ain't seen nothing till you've been
     F#m      E D                  A     G     F#m    A7sus4    D/A
In a motel baby  like the Holiday Inn

G                   D                     A
  I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands
       D                      E
Oh, and you ain't seen nothing till you've been
     F#m      E D                  A     G     F#m    A7sus4    D/A
