                          MEMORY MOTEL
                         ROLLING STONES

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:   D  Bm  G  A -- 2x's


VERSE:
      D                   Bm
      Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
     G                             A
      Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved
     D                         Bm
      We spent a night at the Memory Motel
     G                      A
      It's on the ocean, I guess you knmow it well
     D                            Bm
      It took a starry night to steal my breath away
     G                             A                       D  Bm  G  A
      Down on the waterfront, her hair all drenched in spray



VERSE:  
      Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
      Her eyes were hazel, her teeth were slightly curved
      She took my guitar and she began to play
      She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain


CHORUS:
     D              Bm      G                A
      You're just a memory   of a love that used to be
     D              Bm      G 
      You're just a memory   of a love
            A                        D Bm G A D    G  D     G G  D
      That used to mean so much to me


BREAK:
      G          A           D           G      D      G  D
      She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
      Well, she's one of the kind

     G       A     D  G   D  G   D  G
      Got a mind
     D           A           D                  G              D
      She got a mind of her own, yeah, and she use it mighty fine


VERSE:
      She drove her pickup truck, painted green and blue
      The tires were wearin' thin, she's done a mile or two
      When I asked her where's she headed for
      Back up to Boston, I'm singin' in a bar
      I've got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge   
      My nerves was shot already, the road ain't all that smooth
      Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone
      I keep on a feelin' that gnawin' in my bone


CHORUS:
      You're just a memory, (just a memory) of a love
      That used to mean so much to me. (just a memory)
      You're just a memory, (just a memory) of a love
      That used to mean so much to me
      (You're just a memory girl)
      You're just a sweet old memory
      And it used to mean so much to me

      Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la
      Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la

      You're just a memory of a love
      That used to mean so much to me

BREAK:
      She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
      Mighty fine, 'cause she's one of a kind
      She got a mind of her own, she's one of a kind
      And she use it well

VERSE:
      On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze
      We've been ten thousand miles, we've been in fifteen states
      Every woman seem to fade out of my mind
      I hit the bottle then I hit the sack and cried
      What's all this laughter on the twenty second floor
      It's just some friends of mine 
      And they're bustin' down the door
      It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel


CHORUS:
      You're just a memory girl
      Just a memory
      And it used to mean so much to me
      You're just a memory girl
      You're just a memory
      And it used to mean so much to me
      You're just a memory girl
      You're just a sweet old memory
      And it used to mean so much to me
      You're just a memory of a love
                                      D
      That used to mean so much to me  

BREAK:
     G           A           D           G      D      G   D
      She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
                                   G  A     D   G  D  G  D
      Well, she's one of the kind

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture wrath Average	#1 by wrath child at Jan 15, 1970 at 1:38 PM EST
	To me, it's about a musician who has fallen in love with a woman he's met one time, but is unable to forget about her, even with the trips on the roads and the hotel parties after the concerts.

No Picture Jaime Average	#2 by Jaime at May 1, 1975 at 3:29 AM EST
	i've been there with this song blasting in my head on a rainy, foggy March day when the resorts were abandoned and no one was to be seen but an occasional taxicab. and i sang tra la la la, sha la la la, wa la la la, la la la

No Picture Curtis Rhythm Player	#3 by Curtis Lee at Aug 6, 1982 at 10:36 PM EST
	A little trivia the Memory Motel is in Montauk on Long Island. It's near The Church Estate, which Andy Warhol bought in 1972.

No Picture Eric Average	#4 by Eric Zinkhon at Apr 2, 1983 at 7:00 PM EST
	I think Keith's lines, with that great, broken, tortured voice of his makes the song.

No Picture Terence Average	#5 by Terence Taylor at Jan 4, 1992 at 7:43 AM EST
	the live version with Dave Matthews is good too. On that version Dave sings the "I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried" part and it gives a new interpretation to the song. The way he sings the line it makes it seem like "hitting the sack" has nothing to do with sleeping but all to do with a bag of mary jane.\ just a thought., i dunno.

No Picture Elizabeth Wanna Be	#6 by Elizabeth Greer at Nov 14, 1992 at 6:12 AM EST
	Dave Matthews can lick my ballsack. For fuck's sake, johnnymac, this is the same guy that knackered All Along the Watchtower. Pull your socks up son.

No Picture the white hendr Badass	#7 by the white hendrix at Sep 22, 2000 at 7:20 PM EST
	Had an awesome love, then lost her somehow. Now he is remembering the Motel, and the night they had.

No Picture Diego Wanna Be	#8 by Diego Rodriguez at Jan 3, 2002 at 8:19 PM EST
	again....... read this story: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=99402500 it says; " The second songs that was written while we were there was, "Memory Motel." Keith took the title from Ronnie, when he heard him speaking to me "I love this place. It reminds me of the good times we have shared; it's a memory motel." So that is how that song came about."

No Picture guitar girl Rhythm Player	#9 by guitar girl 13 at Jan 6, 2005 at 11:25 PM EST
	Love lost. Love from the past that sneaks up on you.
