Hotel California

 
 
         Fmi                        C7 
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 
   Eb                         Bb 
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 
  Db                        Ab 
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
Bbmi 
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 
C 
I had to stop for the night 
 
 
Fmi                                C7 
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell 
Eb 
And I was thinking to myself 
              Bb 
This could be heaven or this could be hell 
Db                         Ab 
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 
Bbmi 
There were voices down the corridor, 
C 
I thought I heard them say... 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
Db                         Ab 
 Welcome to the Hotel California. 
C7                   Fmi 
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
Db                                      Ab 
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
     Bbmi                         C 
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 
 
Db                         Ab

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...
