On a dark desert highway
^E ^E ^D ^D ^D
Cool wind in my hair
^D-^E ^E ^D ^D-^D-^D-^E
Warm smell of colitas
^E-^E ^E ^D ^D ^D-^C-A
Rising up through the air ~
^E ^E-^E ^D ^C ^C – ^E
Up ahead in the distance
^C ^E ^E ^E-^D-^C ^C
I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway;
E ^E ^E ^E-^D ^D
I heard the mission bell
D ^D ^D ^D-^C ^D ^D-^E
And I was thinking to myself
^E ^E ^E ^E-^E
“This could be heaven
^E ^E ^D ^D ^D-^C-A
Or this could be Hell”
^E ^E ^E ^D ^C ^C-^E
Then she lit up a candle
A ^C ^E ^D ^C ^C
And she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say
