Son Volt - Bicycle Hotel Chords

Son Volt – Bicycle Hotel
Bonus track on the iTunes exclusive Deluxe Edition of “The Search”
Words and Music by Jay Farrar


This is one of the best songs Jay Farrar has ever written, which in my book makes in one 
the best songs ever written – period.  Somehow, it failed to make the final cut of “The Search”.

[D*]

[D] Stuck in a hotel in Amsterdam
It’s about sun[G]down for you
Your sleep doesn’t [Em] happen easy

[D] Choice words for the payphone that doesn’t work
You can buy ab[G]sinthe, cocaine, and heroin
[Em] But you can’t call home

[D] Find sleep where you can
Situations to [G] laugh about when it’s over
[Em] It’s a long way from over [D]

[D*] [D] [D*]

CHORUS
[D] Thinking of you around the world
Think[G]ing of you arou[Em]nd the world
[D]Thinking of you around the world
Think[G]ing of you arou[Em]nd the world

[D] [D*] [D] [D*] [D] [D*] 
[D*]

[D] Holed up in the city of Hamburg
Looking for si[G]gns of Liverpool
Down around [Em] the Reeperbahn

[D] Bergen and Dublin run together
Caffeine-fueled [G] dreams
Scottish ladies [Em] on the brink

[D] You walk along the Winded-Down (??)
Unfamiliar empty [G] streets, they don’t know who you are
[Em] At least you know who you are [D]
