10cc – Notell Hotel (Guitar)

G7/D                Dm7          Em/D
     I checked into the room and I checked the view

           Dm                 C   Dm   G7/D
And then I locked and chained the door

           Dm7            Em/D
I had time to kill, I had space to fill

       Dm              C Dm  G7/D
Like a prisoner on the floor

               Dm7
But then the silence broke

Em/D                      Dm   C    Bb C
There's a woman screaming down the hall

F                           F#dim Gm7 G#dim
  And I wondered what was going   on

   Here at the Notell Hotel

     G7/D   Dm7             Em/D
So I killed the light and I slipped the chain

       Dm                 G7/D
Took a peek into the hall

           Dm7                Em/D
I was just in time to see the waiter trip

             Dm            C Dm  G7/D
And drop the dinner on the floor

            Dm7
But the bellboy smiled

Em/D      Dm            C   Bb C
As the elevator started to fall

F                           F#dim Gm7 G#dim
  And I wondered what was going   on

   Down at the Notell Hotel

Bb        C    Dm   C   Asus2 Am Asus2 F     Gm/F F
   Ooh, I love a mystery              (Cover up   and intrigue)

Bb            Dm  C       G/A                     A7
Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything I see

   Bb      C    Dm   C    Am
Ooh, how I love a mystery

Dm                   Eb
Turned up raincoats, secret agents

Db/Eb           F         G7
Waiting for the missing clue

      F/A  G7
At a rendezvous

G7/D                   Dm7           Em/D
     I heard the sound of feet and I looked out to meet

         Dm            C Dm   G7/D
A girl I knew I'd seen before

                 Dm7              Em/D
She had the kind of looks you see in dirty books

            Dm              C Dm  G7/D
And she was dripping on the floor

                 Dm7         Em/D            Dm
She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in

           C       Bb     C
And turned out the lights

F                   F#dim    Gm7    G#dim
  It's gonna be one of those nights

A7
   Down at the Notell Hotel

G7/D                 Dm7                Em/D
     I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar

         Dm            C   Dm   G7/D
To get a drink to calm her down

            Dm7                Em/D
Then the mirror cracked as the window shook

        Dm           C Dm   G7/D
And the table turned around

                      Dm7
And when I grabbed at the phone

      Em/D        Dm         C      Bb
There was a voice at the end of the line

           C F       F#dim Gm7                G#dim A7
"Is that 1059? Is anything wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Bb     C    Dm   C   Asus2 Am Asus2 F     Gm/F F
