Don't be bothered at all about getting the strumming patterns precise,
just use my verse as a rough guide. In the first bar, as long as you
get the hammer-ons then it should sound fine. I've put a measure in
that Jack once played live, you can develop on that if you want.

Verse 1
I was watching with one eye on the other side
I had fifteen people telling me to move
I got movin' on my mind
I found shelter in some thoughts turning wheels around
I said thirty-nine times that 'I love you'
To the beauty I had found Well It's
Chorus
One two three four take the elevator at the
Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later
All they got inside is vacancy
Jack played this after the first verse once, live.

Verse 2
I've been thinking of a little place down by the lake
They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house
I wonder how long it will take
'Till we're alone sittin' on the front porch of that home
Stomping our feet on the wooden boards
Never gonna worry about locking the door Well it's
Chorus
One two three four take the elevator at the
Hotal Yorba I'll be glad to see you later
All they got inside is vacancy
Interlude (single strums)
It might sound silly for me to think childish thought like these
But I'm so tired of acting tough, and I'm gonna do what I please
Verse 3
Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest
'Cos if I'm the man that you love the most
You could say 'I do' at least Well it's
Chorus
One two three four take the elevator at the
Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later
All they got inside is vacancy And it's
Four five six seven grab you umbrella
Grab hold of me 'cos I'm your favourite fella
All they got inside is vacancy
