Hotel California

 
 
         Abmi                        Eb7 
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 
   Gb                         Db 
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 
  E                        H 
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
Dbmi 
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 
Eb 
I had to stop for the night 
 
 
Abmi                                Eb7 
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell 
Gb 
And I was thinking to myself 
              Db 
This could be heaven or this could be hell 
E                         H 
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 
Dbmi 
There were voices down the corridor, 
Eb 
I thought I heard them say... 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
E                         H 
 Welcome to the Hotel California. 
Eb7                   Abmi 
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
E                                      H 
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
     Dbmi                         Eb 
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here... 
 
 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz 
She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends 
How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat 
Some dance to remember some dance to forget 
 
 
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said) 
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 
and still those voice are calling from far away 
Wake you up in the middle of the night 
Just to hear them say 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
E                         H

     Dbmi                         Eb

Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an 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 find the passage back to the place I was before 
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive 
You can check out anytime you like 
But you can never leave...
