[Verse 1]

C                    Em

Hey mama, it's a long long way

           Bb

To your borderland home where the

A7                        Ddim7

butterflies play all day.

C                           G

Yeah it's a long long way

Am                  Em

And I'm awful hungry you know

       Am              Em

I could almost eat my words

                         Dm

I said I'd give up my vacation

F                             Fm

To take you right across the nation

Fm                                 E

And your Mother thinks I'm crazy too

E                                     Am     G

I'll tell you what I think we should do.

 

 

[Chorus]

             C                          G

Why don’t we pull in at the half way hotel

             Am                     G

I long for service at the ring of a bell

    Gm        Fmaj7         G

And we could sleep in late

                         Fmaj7           G

Hey, your Mummy and your Daddy can wait.

          C                         G

And if we pull in at the halfway hotel

                   Am                         G

Why they're so discreet and I know only too well

    Gm        Fmaj7       G

You won't get home again

G                              Fmaj7            G

No it ain’t home but you'll be welcome to stay.

                            F                         Fdim7

You'll be amazed to see the people who you thought so swell

                  C

Tipping back the moselle

               Cdim7                Dm

And life is so hard on a credit card

               G                  Bb9     Am  Ab9 Dm Gsus4

It almost over, at the halfway hotel.     Ooh

 

 

[Verse 2]

C                     Em

Hey mama, can you feel the heat

 

        Bb

My radiator's all dry

                  A7                          Ddim7

And we're the only fools left in the street

C                             G

But sure I think you're sweet.

Am                Em

But I ain’t no hero you know

          Am                     Em

You been mixing me up with those men in that slush

              Dm                 F

You fill your mind with all that comic book stuff

                    Fm

And it's your imagination,

Fm                        E

playing little tricks on you

E                                   Am     G

But at least I think I know what to do.

 

 

[Chorus]

             C                          G

Why don’t we pull in at the half way hotel

             Am                     G

I long for service at the ring of a bell

    Gm        Fmaj7         G

And we could sleep in late

                         Fmaj7           G

Hey, your Mummy and your Daddy can wait.

          C                         G

And if we pull in at the halfway hotel

                   Am                         G

Why they're so discreet and I know only too well

    Gm        Fmaj7       G

You won't get home again

G                              Fmaj7            G

No it ain’t home but you'll be welcome to stay.

                            F                         Fdim7

You'll be amazed to see the people who you thought so swell

                  C

Tipping back the moselle

               Cdim7                Dm

And life is so hard on a credit card

                G                   Bb9     Am  Ab9 Dm Gsus4

It almost over,   at the halfway hotel.

 

Repeat Chorus and end
