C# G# D#7 G#
In the room at the top of the stairs
G# C#
We grew up together on the wrong side of the river
G# D#7
And her dream was to make it to here
G# C#
Well she won his attention and a place in his mansion
G# D#7 G#
In the room at the top of the stairs
G# C#
In that cold lonely mansion lies a lady hot with passion
G# D#7
And a man to busy to care
G# C#
When he’s off with his brokers she invites me over
G# D#7 G#
To the room at the top of the stairs
C# G#
Lord he’d never believe that these old worn out jeans
G# D#7
Have been thrown across his best velvet chair
G# C#
Damned these old cowboy’s blues for wanting to take roots
G# D#7 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# D#7
Lord my heart is already up there
G# C#
And my hands won’t stop shaking at the thought of her aching
G# D#7 G#
In the room at the top of the stairs
D#7 G# C#
Damned these old cowboy’s blues for wanting to take roots
G# D#7 G#
In the room at the top of the stairs
