D     Em7


[Chorus]
D          Em7
Go on down to the listening house;
D                  Em7
Don't be afraid to lose;
A                      G     Bm/F# Em7
Dont be concerned with those you find,
D          Em7    G/E     D
They're there to listen, too.


[Verse]
D               Em7
Eastern towns, western towns,
D                               Em7
I find they're nowhere, yet it seems,
A                    G     Bm/F# Em7
The listening house always overflows
D        Em7      G/E    D
With statues and silent screens.


[Verse]
D           Em7
Old hotels have the answer my friend
D                                 Em7
For lonesome hearts and troubled minds;
A                   G             Bm/F#    Em
But as day comes, along with the noon-day sun,
D          Em7  G     D
A thousand old hotels die.


[Verse]
D                       Em7
Hey white-gold candle, you're almost gone;
D                             Em7
You leave me the dark pretty soon;
A                      G      Bm/F#  Em7
And chandeliers won't sparkle in the dark,
D              Em7      G/E     D
You leave me a dark and useless room.


[Chorus]
D          Em7
Go on down to the listening house;
D                  Em7
Don't be afraid to lose;
A                      G     Bm/F# Em7
Dont be concerned with those you find,
D          Em7    G/E     D
They're there to listen, too.


[Chorus]
D          Em7
Go on down to the listening house;
D                  Em7
Don't be afraid to lose;
A                      G     Bm/F# Em7
Dont be concerned with those you find,
D          Em7    G/E     D
They're there to listen, too.
