Hotel California

[Intro]

[Bm]  [F#7]  [A]  [E7]  [G]  [D]  [Em]  [F#7]  x2


[Verse]

[Bm]                        [F#7]
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[A]                     [E7]
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
[G]                         [D]
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[Em]                                        [F#7]
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for 
the night.

[Bm]                              [F#7]
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
[A]                                            [E7]
And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this 
could be Hell"
[G]                        [D]
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
[Em]                                  [F#7]
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them 
say...


[Chorus]

[G]                        [D]
Welcome to the Hotel California...
       [F#7]                                        [Bm]
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a lovely 
face...
[G]                               [D]
Plenty of room at the Hotel California...
    [Em]                                       [F#7]
Any time of year, (any time of year) you can find it here...


[Verse]

[Bm]                           [F#7]
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Bends
[A]                                     [E7]
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#7]
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

[Bm]                           [F#7]
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
          [A]                                     [E7]
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]                                     [F#7]
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them 
say...


[Chorus]

[G]                        [D]
Welcome to the Hotel California...
       [F#7]                                        [Bm]     
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a lovely 
   [F#7]
face...
[G]                                  [D]
They livin' it up at the Hotel California...
       [Em]                                               
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) bring your 
[F#7]
alibis...


[Verse]

[Bm]                      [F#7]
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
              [A]                               [E7]
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own 
device"
[G]                            [D]
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
[Em]                                              [F#7]
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't 
kill the beast

[Bm]                           [F#7]
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[A]                                 [E7]
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
[G]                                   [D]
"Relax" said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
[Em]                                   [F#7]
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
