Bm On a dark desert highway,F# cool wind in my hair.
A Warm smell of colitas,E rising up through the air.

Em My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
F#7 I had to stop for the night.
Bm There she stood in the doorway;F# I heard the mission bell,
A And I was thinking to myself, "this could be Eheaven or this could be hell".
G Then she lit up a candleD and she showed me the way.
Em There were voices down the corridor,F#7 I thought I heard them say...

A She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,E that she calls friends.
G How they dance in the courtyard, Dsweet summer sweat.
Em Some dance to remember,F#7 some dance to forget.
Bm So I called up the Captain,F# "please bring me my wine".
He saidA "we haven't had that spirit here sinceE nineteen sixty nine".
G And still those voices are calling from Dfar away.
Em Wake you up in the middle of the nightF#7 just to hear them say...
