Hotel California

• Bm

Intro: Bm    F#    A    E    G    D    Em    F#   ( 2x )  
  
Bm                                     F#  
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair,  
A                                   E  
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.  
G                                       D   
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light.  
Em                  
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,  
F#  
I had to stop for the night.  
  
Bm  
There she stood in the doorway;  
F#  
I heard the mission bell  
A                        
And I was thinking to myself,  
E  
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell."  
G                                                    D  
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way.  
Em  
There were voices down the corridor,  
F#  
I thought I heard them say: 

G                                      D  
"Welcome to the Hotel California.  
F# 
Such a lovely place,  
Bm 
Such a lovely face!  
G                                             D  
Plenty of room at the Hotel California.  
Em                        F#  
Any time of year, you can find us here." 
  
Bm                                         F#  
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the 'Mercedes bends'.  
A                                                      E  
She 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  
So I called up the Captain,  
F#  
"Please bring me my wine." 
A                                                                        E  
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine,"  
G                                                        D  
And still those voices are calling from far away,  
Em  
Wake you up in the middle of the night  
F#  
Just to hear them say:  

G                                       D  
"Welcome to the Hotel California.  
F#  
Such a lovely place,  
Bm 
Such a lovely face!  
G                                             D  
"We're livin' it up at the Hotel California.  
Em                              F#  
What a nice surprise! Bring your alibis."  

Bm  
Mirrors on the ceiling,  
F#  
The pink champagne on ice.  
A                                                                     E  
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device." 
G  
And in the master's chambers  
D  
They gathered for the feast.  
Em  
They stab it with their steely knives,  
F#  
But they just can't kill the beast.  
  
Bm  
Last thing I remember,   
F#  
I was running for the door.  
A  
I had to find the passage back  
E  
To the place I was before.  
G  
"Relax," said the night man,  
D  
"We are programmed to receive.  
Em  
You can check out any time you like,  
F#  
but you can never leave!" 
  
( SOLO )   Bm    F#    A     E    G    D    Em    F#  ( 3X )
