                             Hotel California

                                                                The Eagles


Bm add4 F# A2 E  G D Em F# (x2)
   Bm                   add4  F#                   F#7
    On a dark desert highway - cool wind in my hair
   A2                    E
    Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
   G                        D
    Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
   Em                                        F#                      F#7
    My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim - I had to stop for the night

    There she stood in the doorway - I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself,
      this could be heaven or 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

              G                         D    add4
               Welcome to the Hotel California
                      F#          F#7      Bm    (C#)(D)(E)
               Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
              G                                D    add4
               Plenty of room at the Hotel California
                   Em                    F#          F#7
               Any time of year, you can find it here

    Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes 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 far away
    Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

               Welcome to the Hotel California
               Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
               They livin' it up at the Hotel California
               What a nice surprise, 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"...
                   *Outro*  (verse, repeat & fade)
