Hotel California

 
 
         Dmi                        A7 
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 
   C                         G 
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 
  Bb                        F 
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
Gmi 
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 
A 
I had to stop for the night 
 
 
Dmi                                A7 
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell 
C 
And I was thinking to myself 
              G 
This could be heaven or this could be hell 
Bb                         F 
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 
Gmi 
There were voices down the corridor, 
A 
I thought I heard them say... 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
Bb                         F 
 Welcome to the Hotel California. 
A7                   Dmi 
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
Bb                                      F 
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
     Gmi                         A 
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 
 
Bb                         F

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
Bb                                      F

     Gmi                         A

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...
