Capo 5  


VERSE 1: 

      C                                 C6 
If my friends could see me now, driving round just like a film star, 
     C7                                   G 
In a chauffeur-driven jam-jar, they would laugh. 

Dm7                 G7               C          G 
  They would all be saying that itâ??s not really me. 
Dm7                 G7             C         G 
  They would all be asking who Iâ??m trying to be. 

      C                                 C6 
If my friends could see me now, looking out my hotel window, 
           C7                               F 
Dressed in satin strides and two-tone daisy roots. 
F                   C            Dm7             C 
If my friends could see me now I know they would smile.

C               G7          Am              C7              | F Dm | 
Sitting in my hotel, hiding from the dramas of this great big world. 
Am            E7    Am             C7     | F  C | Dm7 C | 
Seven storeys high, looking at the world go by-y. 

C                   G7                       Am 
Sitting in my hotel room, thinking â??bout the countryside  
    C7          | F Dm | 
and sunny days in June 
Am                 E7     Am            C7  | F  C | Dm7 C | 
Trying to hide the gloom, sitting in my hotel room. 


VERSE2: 

      C                                  C6 
If my friends could see me now, dressing up in my bow-tie, 
         C7                                  G 
Prancing round the room like some outrageous poof. 

Dm7          G7               C          G 
  They would tell me that Iâ??m just being used. 
Dm7          G7              C         G 
  They would ask me what Iâ??m trying to prove. 

           C                            C6 
They would see me in my hotel, watching late shows â??til the morning, 
        C7                              F 
Writing songs for old-time vaudeville revues. 
F                    C                Dm7         C 
All my friends would ask me what itâ??s all leading to.
