[Intro]

C C/A C/G

[Verse 1]

C C/A C/G

Somewhere below the grand hotel

C C/A C/G

There is a tunnel that leads down to hell

C C/A C/G

Take the dumbwaiter, the laundry chute

C C/A C/G

Then sneak through the hall past the boy's shining boots

F Am

Then left at the courtyard through the old Garden

F Am

Where all the bellhops smoke with the guards

C F G

And then you run to the old lake house

C F G

Down to the old lake house

C F G C

Run to the old lake house where it begins

[Verse 2]

C C/A C/G

Under the floorboards there's a deep well

C C/A C/G

That leads to a spring that sprung up in hell

C C/A C/G

That's where old devils danced and kissed

C C/A C/G

And made their blood pacts in the ancient myths

F Am

And running through forest they screamed in chorus

F Am

While piercing fair maidens' chests with their horns

C F G

And then they lay in the grass 'til the dawn came

C F G

Sleeping away 'til the dawn came

C F G C

Lay in the grass where now stands the Grand Hotel

[Chorus]

The Maître D' and a fancy chef

C F

Silver's real, the liquor's top shelf

Play some tennis, swim in a pool

C F

Stroll the garden shady and cool

C F G

You won't care that the devils

C F G

Won't mind that the devils

C F G C

Won't know that the devils are near

[Verse 3]

C C/A C/G

Somewhere below the grand hotel

C C/A C/G

There is a tunnel that leads straight to hell

C C/A C/G

But no one comes up for the souls anymore

C C/A C/G

They come for some comfort and for the dance floor

F Am

And hiding sharp horns under fedoras

F Am

Do not disturb signs instead of a chorus

C F G

They toss and turn 'til the dawn comes

C F G

On soft sheets 'til the dawn comes

C F G C

No one sleeps at the grand hotel

[Chorus]

Room service, mini-bar

C F

Scented soaps, chauffeured cars

Stay a day, stay a week

C F

Here's the tunnel, take a peek

C F G

Just call up your friends at the front desk

C F G

Any hour at the front desk

C F G

Call up your friends at the Grand Hotel

C F G C

You'll always have friends at the Grand Hotel
