Where your daughter is

It's afternoon on Sunset Boulevard

I've got a stolen moment trying hard
    A               G
To write a kind of, kind of Christmas card

Mama, dear

All the love you gave
D                        Bm
  I guess there's really nothing,
    A
nothing much to save

G                 A
  See this place,
                 Bm
is as dirty as I feel myself
             G              A
There are still some riches
             D   A
At the Roosevelt
              G                   A
That evening prayer, those memories
                      Bm
In my little bedroom, mama, on my knees,
 A                              G
That's where I'm at - Down in Los-Angeles

    D        Bm      F#           A
And I____________ am burning out again
    D        Bm        F#               A
And I____________ must rise above the shame

A                            G6                     A
I can still hear some of the songs you used to play
                             Bm
From that summer of love in '68
        A                G
Seems it's turned into a winter of hate
