Motel Blues - Loudon Wainwright III
Transcribed by Ramsay Wallace - RamsayW1@aol.com
This is roughly the intro. After the hammer ons you stroke the strings. Listen to the song & you'll see where it all fits in.

Come up to my motel room treat me nice
I don't want to make no late night New York Calls
I don't want to stare at those ugly grass mat walls
Chronologically I know you're young
But when you kissed me in the club you bit my tongue
I'll write a song for you, put it on my next LP
Come up to my motel room, sleep with me
There's a bible in the drawer, don't be afraid
I'll put up a sign to warn the clean up maid
There's lots of soap & lots of towels
Never mind those desk clerk scowls
I'll buy you breakfast, they'll think you're my wife
Come up to my motel room, save my life
