Chords for Peter Case - Entella Hotel - Live at McCabe's

_ _ Man, it's sad.
How you feeling, Peter?
_ _ _ Well, I'll tell you one thing I feel.
This is like the first time in about 90 gigs
that I played the same city two nights in a [Eb] row.
And [B] so I got up this morning and I drove to Bakersfield
and drove back just to get in the mood.
[F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
But outside of that, good. _ _ _
All right, somebody went to the big town
and [E] let me make sure this guitar is right
because we're trying to cut an album tonight.
_ [C] And_ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ That ain't gonna work on no album.
All right, hold on.
I'm gonna sing a song [C] about somebody goes to the big city
and this [Gb] is their first experience there. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Well, there was no way of telling on the first day in town
how far it was from the Greyhound station till midnight. _ _
And always, always, _ _
you checked into a room at the Intelli Hotel.
_ Got used to the gloom and the smell
and the thrill at the sight of old man laying in hard wax. _ _
So [Bb] you go up on Broadway where [F] the sailors are rowing _
_ [Bb] and the girls give themselves names
like Lola, [F] Estelle and Nicole. _ _
_ _ They work at a place [Bb] called the Garden of Earthly [F] Delight _
_ and [C] the tourists [F] pouring from all over to take in the sight. _
_ _ Now in the sweet summer heat,
Nick the cop walks the beat
and you feel him coming from way down the street.
[Bb] He's drawing lines in the dirt with his feet
and daring [F] it across. _
_ _ _ And all the same, why knows I still see in my dreams
tighten up and stop making scenes.
And here [Bb] comes Nick, all the swagger
and the old ones [F] are whispering, toss it.
_ _ _ [Bb] And Nick picks it up and looks for [F] who's needing it most.
_ _ [C] And the ones on the lam are [F] all getting ready to rust.
_ And the [Bb] afternoon goes on forever [F] like some drunken bum
till the sun finally drowns beneath the bridge
and the night has [F] begun.
_ _ _ [G] _ Down by the [F] bay, the ship's horns are blasting the fog
_ as we stumble and mutter
and run through the gutter like dogs.
_ _ _ [Bb] With one guy to play [F] and dying to play it each night
[Bb] _ _ [F] in the back of a place called the Garden of Earthly Delight.
All right, play it on the guitar, man. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ So high in your room, the mirror falls with a roar
and you're staring at pieces that lay broke on the floor
and [Bb] there's a knock on the door.
The guy says, there's a call on [F] the phone. _ _
_ You figure nobody knows your room or your name.
You guess it's someone just playing a game
so you answer it guarded, [Bb] expecting to still be alone.
_ _ _ It's [F] Nicole, she says she's getting off early [G] tonight.
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] They're in the box, just had a [F] terrible fight. _
_ _ _ [Bb] And would you come down to meet her?
[Dm] Would that be all right?
_ [F] _ So [Am] you walk in the back [F] door
and the first thing you hear is her song.
_ At the [C] Garden of Earthly [F] Delights, the show must go on.
_ You [Bb] got one guy to play
and you're dying to [F] play it each night.
_ _ In the back of a joint called the Garden of Earthly Delight. _ _
_ You got [Bb] one guy to play
and you're dying to play [F] it tonight. _ _
_ [Bb] With [F] your backs to the [C] bar at the Garden of [F] Earthly Delight. _
All right.
And _ _ _ _ _ now, _ I'm so [Bb] on my high.
I'm _ [F] not down, [Bb] oh yeah.
_ In the back of a place [C] called the Garden of Earthly Delight. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank _ you.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
