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