Hotel California by The Eagles

Am E G D F

C Dm E E7

Capo 2nd fret

Verse 1
  Am 
   On a dark desert highway,  cool wind in my hair
 
   Warm smell of colitas  rising up through the air
 
   Up ahead in the distance,  I saw a shimmering light
  Dm 
   My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
 
   I had to stop for the night
  Am 
   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
  Dm 
   There were voices down the corridor,  I thought I heard them say

Chorus 1
 
   Welcome to the Hotel Cali -  fornia.
  E7  Am 
  Such a  lovely place, such a  lovely face
 
   Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali -  fornia
  Dm 
   Any time of year (any time of year) you can  find it here

Verse 2
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz
She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
How they danced in the court yard 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 1969
and still those voice are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Chorus

Verse 3
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an 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 find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like
But you can never leave...

Chorus 2
 
   Welcome to the Hotel Cali -  fornia.
  E7  Am 
  Such a  lovely place, such a  lovely face
 
   Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali -  fornia
  Dm 
  What a  nice suprise; bring on your  alibis
