E                         D              A     
Boston at last and the plane's touching down 
E                          D             A 
Our hostess is handing the hot towels around 
F#m                     C#m             Bm   Bm7 
From a terminal gate to a black limousine 
E                              D          A 
It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn 
 

E                         D              A    
Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired 
E                         D              A    
Where you get to the stage where you're not even tired 
F#m                     C#m             Bm   Bm7 
Kicking your heels till the time comes around 
E                          D            A    A/B  A/C# 
To pick up your bags and head out of town 
 
Refrain- 
G                  D                A 
Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man 
G                     D                 A      A/B  A/C# 
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands 
D                               E  
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been 
F#m          E            D       A      G      F#m    F    
In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn 
 
-Instrumental- (verse chords) 
 
Refrain- 
G                  D                A 
Slow down Joe, I'm a rock and roll man 
G                     D                 A      A/B  A/C# 
I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands 
D                               E  
And you ain't seen nothing till you've been 
F#m          E            D       A      G      F#m    F  G  A  
In a motel baby like the Holiday Inn 
 
-Fade out-
