Hotel California
The Eagles
Bm F# A E G D Em F#
Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G
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
E
Heaven or this could be hell
G
Then she lit up a candle,
D
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
Em
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Bm7
Such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em
Any time of year (any time of year)
F#
You can find it here
Bm
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
F#
She got the Mercedes Benz
A
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
E
She calls friends
G
How they dance in the courtyard
D
Sweet summer sweat.
Em
Some dance to remember
F#
Some dance to forget
|
Bm
So I called up the Captain
F#
'Please bring me my wine'
A
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since
E
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
Em
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Bm7
Such a lovely face
G D
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Em
What a nice surprise (what a nice suprise)
F#
Bring your alibis
Bm F#
Mirrors on the ceiling the pink champagne on ice
A
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here,
E
Of our own device'
G
And in the master's chambers
D
They gathered for the feast
Em
They stab it with their steely knives
F#
But they just can't kill the beast
Bm F#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back to the
E
Place I was before
G
'Relax,' said the night man,
D
We are programmed to receive
Em
You can check-out any time you like
F#
But you can never leave!'
