Hotel California

[Intro:] Bm F#7 A E G D Em F#7

Bm                      F#7
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                                      F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
Bm                              F#7
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#7
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say:

Refrão:

G                         D
Welcome to the Hotel California
       F#7                                            Bm        C#m D Em
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
  G                              D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
     Em                                          F#7
Any time of year... any time of year... you can find it here
Bm                           F#7
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#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm                           F#7
So I called up the captain, "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                                      F#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
G                           D
Welcome to the Hotel California
        F#7                                           Bm
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
         G                              D
We're living it up at the Hotel California
       Em                                                   F#7
What a nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your alibis
Bm                          F#4/7              F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice,
A                                E
"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#7
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Bm                            F#7
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 nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
Em                                              F#7
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"

(Bm  F#7  A  E  G  D Em  F#7)
