Hotel California
[Intro]
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 x2
[Verse]
Am On a dark desert highway, cool E7 wind in my hair
G Warm smell of colitas risi D ng up through the air
F Up ahead in the distance, I sa C w a shimmering light
Dm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7 I had to stop for the night
Am There she stood in the doorway; I hear E7 d the mission bell
G And I was thinking to myself
This could be heave D n or this could be hell
F Then she lit up a candle, and C she showed me the way
Dm There were voices down the corridor,
E7 I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus]
F Welcome to the Hotel Californ C ia
Such a love E7 ly place (such a lovely place), such a l Am ovely face
F Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor C nia
Any tim Dm e of year (any time of year), you can fi E7 nd it here
[Verse]
Am Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, s E7 he got the Mercedes bends
G She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys D she calls friends
F How they danced in the courtyard, swe C et summer sweat
Dm Some dance to remember, E7 some dance to forget
Am So I called up the captain; Pleas E7 e bring me my wine (he said)
G We haven't had that spirit here s D ince 1969
F And still those voices are calling from C far away
Dm Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7 Just to hear them say...
[Chorus]
F Welcome to the Hotel Californ C ia
Such a love E7 ly place (such a lovely place), such a l Am ovely face
F They're livin' it up at the Hotel Calif C ornia
What a n Dm ice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring you E7 r alibis
[Verse]
Am Mirrors on the ceiling; the pi E7 nk champagne on ice (and she said)
G We are all just prisoners here, of ou D r own device
F And in the master's chambers, they ga C thered for the feast
Dm They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7 just can't kill the beast
Am Last thing I remember, I was ru E7 nning for the door
G I had to find the passage back to the D place I was before
F Relax, said the night man; we are pro C grammed to receive
Dm You can check out any time you like
E7 But you can never leave...
