Roadside Inn
                                                                                                                                 By Tim Lake
           D                      A7                         G               A7 
I got a G-string in my pocket – regret to say for my guitar
D                           A7               G                    A7
Jump for joy your baby boy is trying to be a star
             D                                            A7                   G                      A7
But he's too young to be where he's going and too old to go back again
             D                                      A7                 G                           D
And I'm sitting here signing from 9 to 1 in the same old roadside inn

       D                        A7                  G                       A7 
The waitress and the barmaid they have just one request 
D                     A7                        G                       A7
Not to do one certain song that they dislike the best
             D                        A7                    G                           A7
And the lonely midnight ladies with the traveling business men
            D                                       A7                G                           D
Are all sitting here drinking from 9 to 1 in the same old roadside inn

Chorus
        G           A7                                D                    D/C               
And Oh Lord can't you see that this guitar picking boy is me
G                                     D                           A7            
Give me the strength to play just one more set
             G             G/F#           Em   A7 D
And I'll fade right back to my lone-li--ness
                G         G/F#      Em  A7  D                
Can't you see I'm just not like the rest
G                 G/F#               Em          A7           D                            
Sitting here singing in the same old roadside inn
 
G     A7  D                              G 
Well I'm singing the blues so cry in your beer
                Bm                                         G                                     A7
Make the same old songs sound so sincere make 'em sound sincere
             D                           A7              D                           A7 
And the message that's in every song just don't seem to last too long
             D                       A7                       D                             A7            
I need a beer to wet my throat again my patience is wearing mighty thin 
              D                      A7                          G
And I'm still here in the same old roadside inn

Baby let me in, won't you let this poor boy in
