Hotel California
Felder, Henley & Frey / the Eagles
| Am | E |
| On a dark desert highway, | cool wind in my hair; |
| G | D |
| Warm smell of colitas, | rising through the air. |
| F | C |
| Up ahead in the distance, | I saw a shimering light. |
| Dm | 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! |
| F | C |
| Then she lit up a candle | and she showed me the way; |
| Dm | E |
| There were voices down the corridor; | I thought I heard them say: |
| F | C |
| " | Welcome to the Hotel Califor | nia! |
| E | Am |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face. |
| F | C |
| Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor | nia! |
| Dm | E |
| Any | time of year (any time of year), you can | find it here." |
| Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz. | |
| 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 place), such a lovely face. | |
| They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; | |
| What a nice surprise (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 night man, "We are programmed to receive. | |
| You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" | |
| "Welcome to the Hotel California! | |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. | |
| They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; | |
| What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" | |
