Lookin' through the window at the people in the street
Seven stories high, lookin' at the world go by

Sitting In My Hotel
Written by: Raymond Douglas Davies
Note: This is best played on a piano, but will work on guitar. It starts
with a descending bass line....F, E, Eb, ....so try to emphasize that line.
Note: When you see a slash, like "F/A", that means play an F chord, but
with the note A as the bass...
