Standard (EADGBE)

Chords:

Intro

Don't you know I need a place to stay

Only fifteen bucks a day

I didn't want to end up here

But now I guess I need to stay

(second verse, same as the first!)

River red, runs like lead

And the smell of kerosene in my head

Stuck here in this shithole

Reading foreign magazines instead

Chorus

"But senor, I only have ten dollars;

Can't you spare me a room for the night?"

We argue about currency and then

He says I can stay for the night

In this Panama City Motel

I am out on the freeway again

(third verse)

A woman approaches in Barcelona

Walking down the Diagonalia

Spaghetti concrete overpasses

I keep grasping for something familiar

Chorus

Repeat 2nd part of Chorus again

then follow the "A B" rhythm while singing ad lib

"Oh No... Don't you know I need a place to stay"

the song finishes on a sustained A

Comments? Gladly!!!
