Hotel California – Eagles

On a dark desert highway                      hm
Cool wind in my hair                          F#7
Warm smell of colitas                         A
Rising up through the air                     E
Up ahead in the distance                      G
I saw a shimmering light                      D
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim      em
I had to stop for the night                   F#7

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven and this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

  Welcome to the Hotel California             G     D
  Such a lovely place, such a lovely face     F#7   hm
  Plenty of room at the Hotel California      G     D
  Any time of year you can find it here       em    F#7

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So I called up the captain
Please bring me my wine
He said we haven't had that spirit here
Since nineteen sixty-nine
And still those voices are calling
From far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

  Welcome to the Hotel California
  Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
  They livin' it up at the Hotel California
  What a nice surprise bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here
Of our own device
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
Relax said the nightman
