Hotel California
Bm
On a dark desert highway
F#
Cool wind in my hair
A
Warm smell of colitas
E
Rising up through the air
GsusE
Up ahead in the distance
D
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
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
GsusE
Then she lit up a candle
D
And she showed me the way
Em
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
GsusE D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#
Such a lovely place
Bm
Such a lovely place (background)
Bm
Such a lovely face
GsusE D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
F#
You can find it here
You can find it here
....... Play the same for the rest ......
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibies
Mirrors on the ceiling
Pink champagne on ice
And she said
We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave
