Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

F#m D F#m D
You told the man in the Broadway Hotel
E D C#m D
Nothing was stranger than being yourself
F#m D F#m D Bm
And he replied, with a tear in his eye
E D
Love was a rollaway
E D
Just a cajole away
E D
Mist on a summer's day
C#m D
Nothing was clear
E D
Love was a smile away
E D
Just a defile away
E D
I sought it every way
C#m D
No-one came near.

You asked the man for a room with a view

Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe

Love was a rollaway
E D
Just an unfold away
E D
That's all there is to say
C#m D
No-one came near.

CHORUS

A G
Alone in your room you hide
F#m
as the night rolls by

In the street outside
A G
And you feel over the words he said
F#m E C#m
Till they turn to rain all around your head.

You're seeking a hideaway

Of your silent day.

You made your home in the Broadway Hotel

Just a reveal away

I tried to find a way
