Hotel California

[ Don Felder /Don Henley / Glenn Frey ]

Am                               E
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G                             D
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Dm                                C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
D#m4                                                     E
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
Am                                       E
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
G                                                      D
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
Dm                             C
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
D#m4                                         E
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say:
F                                C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm                                                                  Am
  Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
  F                                             C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm                                                                      E
 Any time of year... any time of year... you can find it here
Am                                                E
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G                                                     D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
Dm                                                 C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
D#m4                                E
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am                                      E
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine," he said
G                                                           D
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"

Dm                                                        C
And still those voices are calling from far away
D#m4                                                       E
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
F                                     C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm                                                              Am
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
F                                         C
Livin it up at the Hotel California
Dm                                                                       E
What a nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your alibis
Am                                                E
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said,
G                                                     D
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
Dm                                                 C
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
D#m4                                                         E
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Am                                                E
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G                                                     D
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Dm                                                 C
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
D#m4                                                         E
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
REPETE REFRÃO
Am  E   G  D   Dm  C (Vocalizes)
D#m4                                                         E
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
