Hotel California Chords

Intro : Bm, F#, A, E, G, D, Em, F#

[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitas,

 [E]rising through the air
[G]Up ahead in the distance,

 [D]I saw a shimering 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: this could be 

[E]heaven or this could be hell
[G]Then she lit up a candle

 [D]and she showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor;

 [F#]I thought I heard them say:

"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor

[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a

 [Bm]lovely face
[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor

[D]nia
Any [Em]time of year (any time of year), you can 

[F#]find it here"

[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted,

 [F#]she got the Mercedes Benz
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, 

[E]that she calls friends
[G]How they dance in the courtyard,

 [D]sweet summer sweat
[Em]Some dance to remember, 

[F#]some dance to forget

[Bm]So I called up the captain, 

"[F#]Please bring me my wine", He said
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since 

[E]nineteen sixty-nine"
[G]And still those voices are calling from

 [D]far away
[Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night,

 [F#]just to hear them say:

"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor

[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a

 [Bm]lovely face
They

 [G]livin' it up at the Hotel Califor

[D]nia
What a [Em]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your

 [F#]alibis"

[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, 

[F#]the pink champagne on ice, and she said
"[A]We are all just prisoners here,

 [E]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 but they 

[F#]just can't kill the beast

[Bm]Last thing I remember, I was

 [F#]running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back to the [E]place I was before
[G]Relax," said the night man,

"We are [D]programmed to receive
[Em]You can check out any time you like,

 but [F#]you can never leave
