Son Volt – Bicycle Hotel
Bonus track on the iTunes exclusive Deluxe Edition of “The Search”
Words and Music by Jay Farrar
Tabs by Tim Prizer (tim_prizer@yahoo.com)
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”.

Intro: [D*] [D*] [D*]
[D*]
Stuck in a hotel in Amsterdam
It’s about sundown for you
Your sleep doesn’t happen easy
Choice words for the payphone that doesn’t work
You can buy absinthe, cocaine, and heroin
But you can’t call home
Find sleep where you can
Situations to laugh about when it’s over
It’s a long way from over
[D*] [D*]
CHORUS
Thinking of you around the world
Thinking of you around the world
Thinking of you around the world
Thinking of you around the world
[D*] [D*] [D*]
[D*]
Holed up in the city of Hamburg
Looking for signs of Liverpool
Down around the Reeperbahn
Bergen and Dublin run together
Caffeine-fueled dreams
Scottish ladies on the brink
You walk along the Winded-Down (??)
Unfamiliar empty streets, they don’t know who you are
At least you know who you are
[D*] [D*]
