Hotel California

Eagles
 BmF#7
 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
 AE7
 Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
 GD
 Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
 EmF#7
 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.

 BmF#7
 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
 AE7
 And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
 GD
 Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
 EmF#7
 There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say...

Chorus:
 GD
 Welcome to the Hotel California...
F#7 Bm F#7(on C#)Bm(on D)
Such a lovely place,(such a lovely place)such a lovely face...
 GD
 Plenty of room at the Hotel California...
 EmF#7
Any time of year,(any time of year)you can find it here...

Verse:
 BmF#7
 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Bends
 AE7
 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
 GD
 How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
 EmF#7
 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

 BmF#7
 So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
 AE7
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
 GD
 And still those voices are calling from far away,
 EmF#7
 Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...

Chorus:
 GD
 Welcome to the Hotel California...
F#7 Bm F#7(on C#)Bm(on D)
Such a lovely place,(such a lovely place)such a lovely face...
 GD
 They livin' it up at the Hotel California...
 EmF#7
What a nice surprise,(what a nice surprise)bring your alibis...

Verse:
 BmF#7
 Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
 AE7
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
 G
 And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
 Em
 They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

 BmF#7
 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
 AE7
 I had to find the passage back to place I was before
 GD
 "Relax" said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
 EmF#7
 You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
