HOTEL CALIFORNIA: CHORDS

SIm FA#
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
LA MI
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

SOL RE
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
MIm FA#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night

Sim FA# LA MI SOL RE Mim FA# strofa

SOL RE Mim Sim // SOL RE Mim FA# refrain

SIm
There she stood in the doorway
FA#
I heard the mission bell
LA
And I was thinking to myself
MI
this could be heaven or this could be hell
SOL
Then she lit up a candle
RE
and she showed me the way
MIm
There were voices down the corridor
FA#
I thought I heard them say

SOL RE
Welcome to the Hotel California
MIm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
SIm7
such a lovely face
SOL RE
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
MIm
Any time of year (any time of year)
FA#
you can find it here

SIm
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
FA#
she got the Mercedes bends
LA
She got a lot of pretty
MI
pretty boys she calls friends
SOL
How they dance in the courtyard
RE
sweet summer sweat
MIm
Some dance to remember
FA#
some dance to forget

SIm
So I called up the Captain
FA#
'Please bring me my wine'
LA
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here
MI
since nineteen sixty nine'
SOL
And still those voices are calling
RE
from far away,
MIm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
FA#
Just to hear them say...

SOL RE
Welcome to the Hotel California.
MIm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
SIm7
such a lovely face
SOL RE
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
MIm
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
FA#
Bring your alibis

SIm
Mirrors on the ceiling
FA#
The pink champagne on ice
LA
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here
MI
of our own device'
SOL
And in the master's chambers
RE
They gathered for the feast
MIm
They stab it with their steely knives
FA#
But they just can't kill the beast

SIm
Last thing I remember
FA#
I was running for the door
LA
I had to find the passage
MI
back to the place I was before
SOL
'Relax,' said the night man
RE
'We are programmed to receive.
MIm
You can check-out any time you like,
FA#
But you can never leave!'
