      [Chorus]
C       D          G         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy showau
      D                           Em            C
We’ll drink and dance, there’s no place else to go
      G                  D           Em                 C
We’ll stay out all night long, we’ll toast the break of dawn
G                  D         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show
          C          D       G                C    D         G
Well they rolled one for the road, put on the same dirty old clothes
C        D          G           C     D      G
Down the trail they road to the motel cowboy show
           C             D          G          C         D         G
Well, they parked at the end of the line, underneath the cold beer sign
       G                 D                 C                Em
It’s a long, long way to ride without your whiskey and your wine
          C        D        G               D        C        G
Something stronger would be fine, something stronger would be fine

[Chorus]
C       D          G         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy showau
      D                           Em            C
We’ll drink and dance, there’s no place else to go
      G                  D           Em                 C
We’ll stay out all night long, we’ll toast the break of dawn
G                  D         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show
          C             D        G                  C       D      G
Well they walk thru the swingin’ doors, through the sawdust on the floor
C         D            G           C     D      G
Everybody was ready to go at the motel cowboy show
          C      D                  C        D          G
They’ve been all over the land, not bad for a honky tonk band
       G                       D                     C           Em
Well, it’s a long hard hill to climb, when you're so far ahead of time
           C     D     G               D   C             G
And you’ve never seen a dime, you’re so far ahead of your time

[Chorus]
C       D          G         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show
      D                           Em            C
We’ll drink and dance, there’s no place else to go
      G                  D           Em                 C
We’ll stay out all night long, we’ll toast the break of dawn
G                  D         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show

[Bridge] 
         C     D    G                 Em               A
Well the doses soon kicked in and the fun would soon begin
    Em               A
The fun would soon begin
        Em                    A
And the world did a great big spin
                Em                   A
Whoo baby, it’s fun, and it ain’t no sin

[Bridge] 
  D        A                 G
I know you well, you don’t remember
D          Am            Em
We partied way back in November
D    A          G               D     Am          Em
The 7 or was it 73, I know you well, you don’t remember me
D             G      D                  G
All the faces changed and the room went round
D             G     D              G
What a mystic place, what a mystic sound
        C          D       G                C       D     G
Well we rolled one for the road, and they candied up their nose
C        D          G           C     D      G
Down the trail they rode to the motel cowboy show

[Chorus]
C       D          G         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show
      D                           Em            C
We’ll drink and dance, there’s no place else to go
      G                  D           Em                 C
We’ll stay out all night long, we’ll toast the break of dawn
G                  D         C     D      G
Hey ol' lady let’s go to the motel cowboy show
