Allan Taylor - The Mission Hotel lyrics

INTRO 5th G D7 G
(G) Anna works at the hotel Where all the singers hang out.( Cadd9)
She (D) brings them their coffee When the drinks have run out (G)
She dreams in the kitchen, Stands real close to the door,  SLIDE TO (C) 8th.
And she listens (D) to them singing. She wants to hear more. (G)

INTRO 5th G D7 G
 (G) They sings songs of the travelling through strange and foreign lands, (Cadd9)
Play tunes (D) on guitars with strong and delicate hands. (G)
Sing of the ladies they left so far behind SLIDE (C )  8, 7, 5, 3
And fame (D) and the fortune they're hoping to find. (G)

REFRAIN:
(Cadd9 ) Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day, (G)
For her lover (D) to come and take her away.(G)
She will (C) know him for sure,
Cause she's (G) dreamed of him so many times before, SLIDE (D)
When he takes her away. (G)

HARMONICA SOLO OVER CHORUS (optional)

(G) The night's winding down and they're playing out the last tune.(Cadd9)
It's time to be leaving and chasing (D)  that old devil moon.(G)
A casual glance and Anna is ready to go SLIDE (C)
To ( D) rule in the arms of some sweet talking Romeo. (G)

REFRAIN:
(Cadd9 ) Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day, (G)
For her lover (D) to come and take her away.(G)
She will (C) know him for sure,
Cause she's (G) dreamed of him so many times before, SLIDE (D)
When he takes her away. (G)

INTRO 5th G D7 G

(G) The song is a dream that sometimes gets lost on the way.( C)
Dreaming's for lovers (D) who sometimes don't know what to say.(G)
But take it as given, it all comes 'round in the end, SLIDE TO (C)
When Anna (D) is singing, dreaming of loving again. (G)

REFRAIN:
(Cadd9 ) Anna brushes her hair and waits for the day, (G)
For her lover (D) to come and take her away.(G)
She will (C) know him for sure,
Cause she's (G) dreamed of him so many times before, SLIDE (D)
When he takes her away. (G)

HALF REFRAIN
She will (C) know him for sure,
Cause she's (G) dreamed of him so many times before, SLIDE (D)
When he takes her away. (G)
