The Eagles - Hotel California

Originally in Bm, I play in Am

AmOn a dark desert highway,Ecool wind in my hair

GWarm smell of colitas,Drising up through the air

FUp ahead in the distance,CI saw a shimmering light

DmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

EI had to stop for the night

AmThere she stood in the doorway, EI 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 Cand she showed me the way

DmThere were voices down the corridor

EI thought I heard them say

AmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted,Eshe got the Mercedes bends

GShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,Dthat she calls friends

FHow they dance in the courtyard, Csweet summer sweat

DmSome dance to remember, Esome dance to forget

AmSo I called up the captain

EPlease bring me my wine

He said, Gwe haven’t had that spirit here since Dnineteen sixty-nine

FAnd still those voices are calling from Cfar away

DmWake you up in the middle of the night

EJust to hear them say

Let ring

AmMirrors on the ceiling

EPink champagne on ice

And she said Gwe are all just prisoners here, Dof our own device

FAnd in the master’s chambers

They are Cgathered for the feast

DmThey stab it with their steely knives

But they Ejust can’t kill the beast

Back to tempo

AmLast thing I remember

I was Erunning for the door

GI had to find the passage back

To the Dplace I was before

FRelax, said the night man

We are Cprogrammed to receive

DmYou can check out any time you like

But Eyou can never leave

Am
