Hotel California
The Eagles
Bm F# A E G D Em F# 2x *
Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
F#
I had to stop for the night
Bm
There she stood in the doorway;
F#
I heard the mission bell
A
And I was thinking to myself,
E
this could be heaven or this could be hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Em
There were voices down the corridor,
F#
I thought I heard them say...
G D
Welcome to the hotel California;
F#
such a lovely place,
Bm
such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the hotel California,
Em F#
any time of year, you can find it here
Bm F#
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
A E
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G D
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Em F#
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm
So I called up the captain,
F#
please bring me my wine
A E
He said, we haven t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
G D
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
F#
just to hear them say
G D
Welcome to the hotel California;
F#
such a lovely place,
Bm
such a lovely face
G D
They re living it up at the hotel California
Em F#
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Bm
Mirrors on the ceiling,
F#
the pink champagne on ice
A E
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G
And in the master s chambers,
D
they gathered for the feast
Em
The stab it with their steely knives,
F#
but they just can t kill the beast
Bm
Last thing I remember, I was
F#
running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back,
E
to the place I was before
G
relax, said the night man,
D
we are programmed to receive.
Em
You can checkout any time you like,
F#
but you can never leave!
