The Hotelier - Piano Player
So the intro to this song comprises what is pretty much played throughout the whole song, so I tabbed it out
pretty thoroughly so you get a good idea of what (I think) they're playing. the +-+- meter above is for
timing, with the '+' signs representing quarter notes. Keep in mind they play in half-step down tuning. Also,
some of these chord names are pretty strange, so just try to stick to the diagrams I've tabbed out.
Tuning: half-step down

Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
Inside your room there’s 40 few ?remaining figures of new moons ?
Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
to curve around your axle heart ?in hopes that something new will start.
Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
?They’re winding down they’re closing ranks to rest another 30 days. ?
Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
You lay and watch them wax and glow. ?You hold them in your hand and let them...

A kid half my age, baby’s breath and meadow sage clutched in her

My eyes greet hers and hers do mine and then the room becomes her shrine.

An older ma'am sets herself straight and then she smiles with 88 remembered

You always said that you don’t dance but then a heel turn to a shadow stance.
Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
I’m rung like sodden cloth. And the autumn leaves turn over across your
Cadd9 G/B G A7sus4
floor,into the hall and I’ve declined into a crawl and you

decompress and fall away but this floor is raised on beams of trust and there’s

(Inside your room there’s 40 few ?remaining figures of new moons ?
to curve around your axle heart ?in hopes that something new will start.
The things you grow are set to die. ?You cling to them with knuckles white. ?
So wind me up, damper to floor ?and I don’t know if I know love no more.)
