Chords

[Intro] C C/A C/G x4 [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]
F 
The Maître D' and a fancy chef

C              F    
Silver's real, the liquor's top shelf

F 
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]
F
Room service, mini-bar

C              F 
Scented soaps, chauffeured cars

F
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
