    CARGILL HOUSE OF MURDER (HOTEL CALIFORNIA) Robert McNeil http://bit.ly/2te7chL
Am                       E
On a dark London highway - cool wind on my skin
G                      D
Bad smell of McNuggets - rising up from within
F                      C
Up ahead in the distance – I saw a shimmering light
Dm                                      E
My beak grew heavy and my sight grew dim – looks like we stop for the night
Am                           E
There they stood in the doorway – I wasn’t feeling well
G                                     D
And I was thinking to myself this must be some twisted version of Hell
F                          C
Then they lit up the spotlight – and they opened my cage
Dm                                E
There were voices down that corridor – thought I heard them say
         CHORUS
                     F                                     G             C                              E                               Am
                     Welcome to the Cargill House of Murder - Such an ugly place – such an ugly place
             F                                             G              C                  Dm                             E
                     There’s plenty o’death at the Cargill House of Murder-any time of year, killing chickens here
Am                              E
Their minds ere definitely twisted - they drive their Mercedes Benz-es
G                                          D
They got a lot of pretty pretty knives – that are not my friends
F                          C               Dm                    E
How they dance on my body – shiny and wet - Some go for my organs – one goes for my head
Am                  E                              G                                D
So I called up Security-please tell me I’m fine –they said “We haven’t let a chicken live since 1969”
F                                    C
And still those voices were calling from faaar away
Dm                                   E
Wake you up in the middle of the night – just to hear them say
      CHORUS
Am                    E
Big hooks on the ceiling, chicken blood on ice, and we said:
G                            D
We are all just prisoners here – in Cargill’s device
F                                  C
And in the Master’s chambers – they gather for the feast
Dm                                         E
They stab us with their steely knives – and they still just call us Beasts
Am                          E
Last thing I remember – I was - running for the door
G                                   D
I had to get these Chickens back to the life we knew before
F                                C
Relax said the Nightman – we are -  programmed to receive
Dm                                   E
You can check out anytime you like but - you can never leave        CHORUS

On a dark London highway - cool wind on my skin
