The Room At The Top Of The Stairs

	  		C      G           D7         G 
In the room at the top of the stairs 



G                          C 
We grew up together on the wrong side of the river 

        G                       D7 
And her dream was to make it to here 

         G                       C 
Well she won his attention and a place in his mansion 

       G           D7         G 
In the room at the top of the stairs 



G                                  C 
In that cold lonely mansion lies a lady hot with passion 

      G              D7 
And a man to busy to care 

          G                        C 
When he's off with his brokers she invites me over 

       G           D7         G 
To the room at the top of the stairs 



     C                             G 
Lord he'd never believe that these old worn out jeans 
  
G                                       D7 
Have been thrown across his best velvet chair 

             G                      C 
Damned these old cowboy's blues for wanting to take roots 

       G           D7         G 
In the room at the top of the stairs 



G                                  C 
As I hide here and wait for him to drive out the gate 

        G                   D7 
Lord my heart is already up there 

    G                                  C 
And my hands won't stop shaking at the thought of her aching 

       G           D7         G 
In the room at the top of the stairs 




D7           G                      C 
Damned these old cowboy's blues for wanting to take roots 

       G           D7         G 
In the room at the top of the stairs
