Hotel California

 
 
         Cmi                        G7 
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 
   Bb                         F 
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 
  Ab                        Eb 
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
Fmi 
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 
G 
I had to stop for the night 
 
 
Cmi                                G7 
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell 
Bb 
And I was thinking to myself 
              F 
This could be heaven or this could be hell 
Ab                         Eb 
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 
Fmi 
There were voices down the corridor, 
G 
I thought I heard them say... 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
Ab                         Eb 
 Welcome to the Hotel California. 
G7                   Cmi 
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
Ab                                      Eb 
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
     Fmi                         G 
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 
 
Ab                         Eb

     Fmi                         G

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...
