Hotel California

AmOn a dark desert highway, cE7ool wind in my hair
GWarm smell of colitas rDising up through the air
FUp ahead in the distance, IC saw a shimmering light
DmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7I had to stop for the night
AmThere she stood in the doorway; IE7 heard the mission bell
GAnd I was thinking to myself
This could be Dheaven or this could be hell
FThen she lit up a candle, aCnd she showed me the way
DmThere were voices down the corridor,
E7I thought I heard them say...

FWelcome to the Hotel CalifoCrnia.
Such a E7lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a Amlovely face
FPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliCfornia
Any Dmtime of year, (any time of year) You can E7find it here

AmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, SE7he got the Mercedes bends
GShe got a lot of pretty pretty boys D she calls friends
FHow they danced in the courtyard, swCeet summer sweat

*{DmSome dance to remember, sE7ome dance to forget
AmSo I called up the captain; PE7lease bring me my wine (he said)
GWe haven't had that spirit here since D1969
Fand still those voices are calling from faCr away
DmWake you up in the middle of the night
E7Just to hear them say...
}

FWelcome to the Hotel CalifCornia.
Such a E7lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a Amlovely face
They're Flivin' it up at the Hotel CaliCfornia
What a Dmnice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your E7alibis

AmMirrors on the ceiling; thE7e pink champagne on ice
GWe are all just prisoners here, oDf our own device
Fand in the master's chambers, tChey gathered for the feast
DmThey stab it with their steely knives but they
E7just can't kill the beast
AmLast thing I remember, I was ruE7nning for the door
GI had to find the passage back to the plDace I was before
Fsaid the night man; we are programmeCd to receive
DmYou can check out any time you like
E7But you can never leave...
