Eagles - Hotel California

 

Key: Bm

Capo 7 – Play Em

 

Em                                 B7/Eb        

On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair

Dsus2                       A9/C#

Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

C                                   G 

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light

Am7

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

B7

I had to stop for the night

Em

There she stood in the doorway

B7/Eb

I heard the mission bell

Dsus2 

And I was thinking to myself

                      A9/C#

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

C                                G

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

Am7

There were voices down the corridor

B7

I thought I heard them say

 

  C                                    G

* Welcome to the Hotel California

           B7                         Em     

Such a lovely place Such a lovely face

C                                           G

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

       Am7                        B7                    

Any time of year You can find it here

 

Em                                 B7/Eb        

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted she got the Mercedes bends

Dsus2                                       A9/C#

She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends

C                                             G 

How they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat.

Am7                               B7                  

Some dance to remember some dance to forget

Em                                 B7/Eb        

So I called up the Captain "Please bring me my wine"

            Dsus2                                              A9/C#

He said "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

C                                                    G 

And still those voices are calling from far away

Am7                                                 B7 

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

 

 

  C                                    G

Welcome to the Hotel California

           B7                         Em     

Such a lovely place Such a lovely face

        C                                   G

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

           Am7                             B7                    

What a nice surprise Bring your alibis

 

Em                           B7/Eb        

Mirrors on the ceiling pink champagne on ice

                     Dsus2                                  A9/C#

And she said "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"

C                                  G 

In the master's chambers They gathered for the feast

        Am7                                                  

They stab it with their steely knives

             B7

But they just can't kill the beast

Em                                   B7/Eb        

Last thing I remember I was Running for the door

Dsus2                                             

I had to find the passage back

          A9/C#

To the place I was before

C                                  

"Relax, " said the night man

G

"We are programmed to receive

Am7 

You can check-out any time you like,

B7

But you can never leave!
