Mars Hotel Chords & Lyrics by The Mayfield Four
Mars Hotel
guitar chords lyrics
This song is way too awesome to not be represented here in some way.
This is intended to be a simplified version of Myles's Mars Hotel acoustic
performance that you can find on YouTube (except for the end, which I've
attempted to adapt to the studio version). Probably a little rough, but
it'll get you through.
Chords:
C#5: x46600
B5: x24400
You should be able to handle the rest yourself.
Mars Hotel
E C#5 B5 A
E
I saw her in an empty bar
C#5
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
B5 A
Trigger visions of her face to this day
E
We tried to dance for years to come
C#5
But two can't lead and waltz as one
B5
We loved and learned and learned to love
A
But it was not enough
A F#m
Foolish pride got in our way
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
A
Don't make me pay for all the past please
E
So now we're living far apart
C#5
I hope to God our paths don't cross
B5 A
This may seem shallow..but her beauty makes me weak
E
I long to hold her once again
C#5
And reconcile and then give in
B5 A
To realize that later on we made the same mistake
A F#m
Hold on to the lessons you've learned
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
C#5
Don't make me pay for all the past
F#m
So much to tow
E F#m
Bogged down with all the history to hold
C#5 F#m
The blame fell hard on me
E
Apologies were too short lived
F#m A
She never really could forgive mistakes
E C#5 B5 A F#
E C#5
She could take my heart and soul
B5
She could take my hand to hold
A F#m
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
E C#5
I tried to pay for all the things
B5
She could want or ever need
A F#m
Don't make me pay for all the past
E
She took my heart, she took my soul
C#5
She took my fragile hand to hold
B5
She took advantage all the time
A F#m E
I'll take her back cause her love makes me blind
C#5 B5 A
And there you go. Not sure about those ending chords and a few of those
F#m chords may be something different, but if you play it like this it
sounds fine. Enjoy!
