Lyrics
Hm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"this could be heaven or this could be hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
G D
Welcome to the hotel california
F#
Such a lovely place, Such a lovely place
Hm
Such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Em F#
Any time of year, Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,
"please bring me my wine"
He said, "we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place, Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "we are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
relax, said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place, Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

"Mad World"

Verses: Em G D A
Chorus: Em A

Verse 1:
All around me are familiar faces.
Worn out places. Worn out faces.
Bright and early for their daily races.
Going nowhere. Going nowhere.
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
No expression. No expression.
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.
No tomorrow. No tomorrow.

Chorus:
And I find it kinda funny.
I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
Cuz I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very

Em A
Mad world.
Mad world.
Mad world.
Mad world.

Verse 2:
Children waiting for the day they feel good.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday.
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen. Sit and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous.
No one knew me. No one knew me.
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me. Look right through me.

Chorus Mad world.
Mad world.
Mad world.
Mad world.
Enlargen your world.

Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken
But You see it's not me, It's not my family
In your head,
in your head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head, In your head
Zombie Zombie
Zombie ie ie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie Zombie Zombie ie ie ie ou
tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since nineteen sixteen
In your head
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head In your head
they are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie Zombie
Zombie ie ie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie Zombie Zombie
ie ie ie
ou ou ou ou ou ou ou ou

Take me back to my boat on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore

Time stands still as I gaze in her water
She eases me down
Touching me gently with the waters
That flow
Past my boat on the river
So I don't cry out anymore

Oh, the river is wise
The river it touches my life, like
The waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquility base
Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore

Oh, the river is deep
The river it touches my life, like
The waves on the sand
And all roads lead to tranquility base
Where the frown on my face disappears

Take me down to my boat on the river
I need to go down, won't you let me go down
Take me back to my boat on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
And I won't cry out anymore
And I won't cry out anymore

that's not a bottle on the table! it's actually a vase with a rose inside, which you can't see because of the palm tree..

fuzzy.. sorry.

Love that song! Everytime it reminds me of "The Stand" film.
