AmOn a dark desert highway, E7cool wind in my hair, Gsus2Warm smell of colitas, D9rising up through the air. FUp ahead in the distance, CI saw a shimmering light. Dm7My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to Estop for the night.

AmThere she stood in the doorway, E7I heard the mission bell. G Gsus2 G13sus4/E D9 And I was thinking to myself,"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'" FThen she lit up a candle Cand she showed me the way. Dm7There were voices down the corridor, I thought EI heard them say:

AmSo I called up the Captain,E7"Please bring me my wine". He said, Gsus2"We haven't had that spD9irit here since nineteen sixty nine". FAn' still those voices are calling from Cfar away, DmWake you up in the middle of the night, Just to Ehear them say:

VERSE 5:
AmMirrors on the ceiling, E7the pink champagne on ice. "Ah" Gsus2she said, "We are all just pD9risoners here, of our own device". FAnd in the master's chambers,they Cgathered for the feast. Dm7They stab it with their steely knives, But they E7just can't kill the beast.
VERSE 6:
AmLast thing I remember, I was E7running for the door. Gsus2I had to find the passage back, to the D9place I was before. F"Relax", said the night manC, "We are programmed to receive. DmYou can check-out any time you like, But you Ecan never leave!"
