Hotel California

       Bm F# 
       On the dark desert high way, 
       A 
       cool wind in my hair 
       E G 
       Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air 
       D Em 
       Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
       F# 
       My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 

       I had to stop for the night 

       Bm F# 
       There she stood in the door way, 
       A 
       I heard a mission bell 

       I was thinking to myself 
       E G 
       This could be heaven and this could be hell 
       D Em 
       Then she lit up the candle and she showed me the way 
       F# 
       There were voices down the corridor 

       I thought I heard them say 

       G D 
       "Welcome to the Hotel California" 
       Em Bm 
       Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
       G D 
       Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California 
       Em F# 
       Any time of year, you can find them here 

       Bm F# A 
       Her mind is tiffany twisted, she's got a mercedes benz 
       E G 
       She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends 
       D Em 
       How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat 
       F# 
       Some dance to remember, some dance to forget 

       Bm F# 
       So I called up the captain " please, bring me my wine" 
       A E G 
       He said, " we heavn't had that spirit here since nineteen sixtynine 
       D Em 
       And still those voices are calling from far away 
       F# 
       Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say 

       G D 
       "Welcome to the Hotel California" 
       Em Bm 
       Such a lovely place, such a lovely face 
       G D 
       They're livin' it up in the Hotel California 
       Em F# 
       What a nice surprise, bring your Alibis 

       Bm F# 
       Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice 
       A E G 
       And she said " we are all just prisoners here of our own device" 
       D Em 
       And in the master chamber, they gathered for the feast 
       F# 
       They stab it with their steely knife but they just can't kill the beast 
       Bm F# A 
       Last thing I remember, I was running for the door 
       E G 
       I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 
       D Em 
       "Relax" said the night man "We are programmed to receive 
       F# 
       You can check out any time you like But you can never leave"
