[F#m] [E]
[F#m] [E]
[A] [E] When you check in the Cheatin' Hotel, [D] you'll [A] be back, [B] for another spin at the wheel, and
a [A] race [E] at the track.
[F#m]
[E] They're off and running down at the bar, [D] [A] this is Heather and this is John.
They're [B] all down at the Cheatin' Hotel, looking [E] for [F#m] fun.
[E] Yeah, I'm the bartender in here, and it's [A] quite a scene.
[B] The women get dressed to kill, and [F#m] slip [E] off their [F#m] rings.
[E] Their husbands meet them an hour later, [Bm] [E] she'll [A] have friends all around the table,
[B] and introduce the old man as one of her [E] latest flings.
Then [A] they go out on the dance floor, now [E] there's a new man to sway for,
and touch and talk and sip some [A] more [B] red wine.
[A] Then the slow dances get much [Am] closer, [A] [E] and now's the time for long words.
That guy there with your wife's my husband, but [B] it's okay.
[F#m] [E] Then I watch all of them lean, [D] [A] they share a stare and a squeeze.
[B] Now they got what they want at the Cheatin' Hotel [E] suite.
[F#m] [E] [A] I don't know if it's wrong or right, I'm [E] sure it feels good at the time.
But if you keep on playing this game, you'll lose [B] your mind.
[E] Cause they're thinking about him or her, [D] then [A] they feel like a piece of dirt.
It's [B] time to check out of the Cheatin' Hotel, and go [E] home for good.
We [A] [B]
[E]
[C] [G] [C] [F] get quite a few attractive, [D#] [A#] lonely wives.
[C] They come in the bar together about [Gm] 6 [F].45, and sit down and say with their eyes,
my [A#] friend and I are looking for a good time.
It [C] don't take long to find a couple of guys at the [Gm] Cheatin' [F] Hotel.
[A#] Then they go out on the dance floor, [F] now they got a new man to sway for,
and touch and talk and sip [Dm] some [G] more [C] red wine.
[A#] Then the slow dancers get a lot closer, [F] and now they whisper low words,
are you married?
Why yes I am, but that's [C] okay.
[F] And they know it's really not.
Now [A#] look at all the troubles they got,
[C] if you check in the Cheatin' Hotel, [Gm] [G] [C] somebody somewhere's gonna tell,
[Gm] that [C] you'll be in the room from hell, and you can't get [F] away.
The light breaks on and off, [A#] bartender last round for us all.
[C] Oh they've had a mighty hard fall, [A#] down here at the Cheatin' Hotel.
[Fm] [Gm] [F]
