Hotel California
(Eagles, Gypsy Kings)

(starts on F#)
BmF#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
AEG
Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air Up
D
ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering light
EmF#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had
to stop for the night
BmF#
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the
A
mission bell And I was thinking to myself: this
EG
could be heaven or this could be hell Then she
DEm
lit up a candle and she showed me the way There
F#
were voices down the corridor; I thought I heard
them say:
     
GDF#
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely
Bm
place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
GDEm
Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time
F#
of year (any time of year), you can find it here
BmF#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the
A
Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty
EG
boys, that she calls friends How they dance in
DEm
the courtyard, sweet summer sweat Some dance to
F#
remember, some dance to forget
BmF#
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my
A
wine", He said "We haven't had that spirit
EG
here since nineteen sixty-nine" And still those
DEm
voices are calling from far away Wake you up in
     
F#
the middle of the night, just to hear them say:
GDF#
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely
Bm
place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
GD
They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a
Em
nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your
F#
alibis
BmF#
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on
A
ice, and she said "We are all just prisoners
EG
here, of our own device" And in the master's
DEm
chambers, they gathered for the feast They stab
F#
it with their steely knives but they just can't
kill the beast
BmF#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the
     
AE
door I had to find the passage back to the place
G
I was before "Relax," said the night man, "We
DEm
are programmed to receive You can check out any
F#
time you like, but you can never leave"
