A rewrite off Hotel California..same chords same melody.

1.On that long and dusty highway

And the pain you’ll have to endure

For all the pleasure that you’re looking at suffering you’ll find for sure

And after years of that, your mind turns the other way .

I saw a stranger clad in saffron cloth, and I thought I heard him say chant .

HK HK KK HH HR HR RR HH

2.Since my mind won’t take direction , my false ego is brought to bear

My intelligence lost in illusion and my senses they don’t care

Like a dog in the night they try to get their wicked way

And that stranger in his saffron cloth again I heard him say chant .

HK HK KK HH HR HR RR HH

3.A humbled state of mind and respect for one and all

Seems such a long long time away and my demons always call

Your up on the fast train and your far far away

Your heading for those city lights , and I heard that  saffron man  say,  chant

HK HK KK HH HR HR RR HH

It’s been years now and I have been trying to find a peace of mind

Hoping against hope my life could be called sublime

Never give up on those angels , let the demons find their way

I look to that man in his saffron cloth and I thought I heard him say chant .

HK KK HH HR HR RR HH

Once a sadhu always a sadhu and you’re lifted from afar

Taken to places in your mind and soul a door is left ajar

No more that fast train , the sences no longer call

That man in his saffron cloth says to one and all chant

HK HK KK HH HR HR RR HH .

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare .

The man is Safron cloth is AC BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA.
