Hotel California - Eagles

Intro:
Bm F# A E G D Em F# 2x times
 
 
     Bm              F#
On a dark desert highway
   A             E
Cool wind in my hair
  G               D
Warm smell of a colitas
 Em                  F#
Rising up through the air
 
 
Up a head in the distance
I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
 
 
There she stood in the door way
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven and this could be hell
 
 
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say...
 
  Chorus:
 
  G                   D
Welcome to the Hotel California
      F#7
Such a lovely place
      Bm
Such a lovely face
  G                          D
Plenty of the room at the Hotel California
    Em
Any time of year
    F#7
You can find it here
 
 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got the Mersedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
That she calls friends
 
How they dance in the courtyard
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 nineteen sixty nine
 
And still those voices are calling
From faraway
Wake up in the middle
Of the night just to hear them say
 
  Chorus:
 
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprice bring your alibis.

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And 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 to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"

Solo: Bm F# A E G D Em F# (until fading)
