[Intro]
Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
At Heartbreak Hotel

[Chorus]
You make me so lonely baby
I get so fucking lonely
I get so lonely I could die

[Verse 1]
And although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom

[Chorus]
You make me so lonely baby
I get so fucking lonely
I get so lonely I could die

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back

[Chorus]
You make me so fucking lonely baby
I get so fucking lonely
I get so lonely I could die

[Verse 3]
If your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To the Heartbreak Hotel and you know

[Outro]
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
