HOTEL CALIFORNIA

Bm                                       F#

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

A                                      E

Warm smell of colitis, rising through the air

G                                       D

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light

Em             

My heart grew heavy and my sight grew dim

F#

I had to stop for the night

Bm                                                F#

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell

A                                               E

And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell

G                                          D

Then she lit up a candle,  and she showed me the way

Em                                          F#

There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say

G                                              D

Welcome to the Hotel California

F#                                                    Bm

Such a lovely place, Such a lovely place

G                                                     D

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

     Em                                   F#

Anytime of year, you can find it here

Bm                                             F#

Her minis is Tiffany twisted, she’s got a Mercedes Benz

A                                                          E

She’s got a lot of pretty pretty boys, that she calls friends

G                                                      D

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Em                                       F#

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Bm                                       F#

So I called up the captain, please bring me my wine

A                                                                        E

He said, we haven’t had the spirit here since nineteen sixty nine

G                                                            D

And still those voices are calling from far away

Em                                                          F#

Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say

G                                                 D

Welcome to the Hotel California

F#                                             Bm

Such a lovely place, such a lovely place

                 G                                          D

They’re livin it up at the Hotel California

              F#                                    Bm

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Bm                                       F#

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice

A                                                                      E

And she said “we are all just prisoners here, of our own device

        G                                           D

And in the master’s chambers, they gathered for the feast

Em                                                                   F#
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can’t kill the beast

Bm                                             F#

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

A                                                            E

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

G                                       D

Relax said the night man, we are programmed to receive

Em                                                            F#
