Hotel california

Eagles


 BmF#
>On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
 AE
>Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
 GD
>Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
 Em
>My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
 F#
>I had to stop for the night
 BmF#
>There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell
 AE
>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#
>There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
>
>CHORUS
>------
 GD
>Welcome to the Hotel California.

 EmF#

>Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
>She 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."
>"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
>And still those voices are calling from far away
>Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
>
>CHORUS (with ending 2)
>
>Mirrors on the ceiling, the 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 programmed to receive"
>"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
>
>(Instrumental and fade)
