Hotel California*- The Eagles
[Em], [B7], [D], [A], [C], [G], [Am], [B7]
[Em] On a dark desert highway... [B7] cool wind in my hair
[D] Warm smell of colitas... [A] rising up through the air
[C] Up ahead in the distance... [G] I saw a shimmering light
[Am] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[B7] I had to stop for the night
[Em] There she stood in the doorway... [B7] I heard the mission bell
[D] And I was thinking to myself... this could be [A]heaven or this could be hell
[C] Then she lit up a candle... [G] and she showed me the way
[Am] There were voices down the corridor... [B7] I thought I heard them say
[C] Welcome to the Hotel Calif[G]ornia
Such a [Am]lovely place... such a lovely place... such a [Em]lovely face
There's [C]plenty of room at the Hotel Calif[G]ornia
Any[Am]time of year... anytime of year... you can [B7]find it here
[Em] Her mind is Tiffany twisted... [B7] she got the Mercedes Benz
[D] She got a lot of pretty pretty boys... [A] she calls friends
[C] How they danced in the court yard... [G]sweet summer sweat
[Am] Some dance to remember... [B7] some dance to forget
[Em] So I called up the captain... [B7] please bring me my wine (he said)
[D] We haven't had that spirit here since... [A] 1969
[C] And still those voice are calling from [G]far away
[Am] Wake you up in the middle of the night... [B7] just to hear them say
[C] Welcome to the Hotel Calif[G]ornia
Such a [Am]lovely place... such a lovely place... such a [Em]lovely face
They’re [C]livin’ it up at the Hotel Calif[G]ornia
What a [Am]nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your [B7]alibis...
[Em] Mirrors on the ceiling... [B7] pink champagne on ice (and she said)
[D] We are all just prisoners here... [A] of our own device
[C] And in the master's chambers... they [G]gathered for the feast
[Am] They stab it with their steely knives... but they [B7]just can't kill the beast
[Em] Last thing I remember... I was [B7]running for the door
[D] I had find the passage back to the [A] place I was before
[C] "Relax" said the night man... we are [G] programmed to receive
[Am] You can check out anytime you like but... [B7]you can never leave...
