HOTEL CALIFORNIA
Felder, Henley & Frey
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| On a dark desert highway, | cool wind in my hair
|
|
| A |
E |
|
| Warm smell of colitas, | rising up through the air
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| Up ahead in the distance, | I saw a shimering light
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, | I had to stop for the night
|
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| There she stood in the doorway, | I heard the mission bell
|
|
| A |
E |
|
| And I was thinking to myself: this could be | heaven or this could be hell
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| Then she lit up a candle | and she showed me the way
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| There were voices down the corridor; | I thought I heard them say:
|
|
| G |
D |
|
" | Welcome to the Hotel Califor | nia
|
|
| F# |
Bm |
|
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor | nia
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
Any | time of year (any time of year), you can | find it here"
|
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| Her mind is Tiffany twisted, | she got the Mercedes Benz
|
|
| A |
E |
|
| She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, | that she calls friends
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| How they dance in the courtyard, | sweet summer sweat
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| Some dance to remember, | some dance to forget
|
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| So I called up the captain, " | Please bring me my wine", He said
|
|
| A |
E |
|
| "We haven't had that spirit here since | nineteen sixty-nine"
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| And still those voices are calling from | far away
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| Wake you up in the middle of the night, | just to hear them say:
|
|
| G |
D |
|
" | Welcome to the Hotel Califor | nia
|
|
| F# |
Bm |
|
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face
|
|
| G |
D |
|
They | livin' it up at the Hotel Califor | nia
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
What a | nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your | alibis"
|
Next verse, acoustic guitar only
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| Mirrors on the ceiling, | the pink champagne on ice, and she said
|
|
| A |
E |
|
" | We are all just prisoners here, | of our own device"
|
|
| G |
D |
|
| And in the master's chambers, | they gathered for the feast
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| They stab it with their steely knives but they | just can't kill the beast
|
|
| Bm |
F# |
|
| Last thing I remember, I was | running for the door
|
|
| A |
E |
|
| I had to find the passage back to the | place I was before
|
|
| G |
D |
|
" | Relax," said the night man, "We are | programmed to receive
|
|
| Em |
F# |
|
| You can check out any time you like, but | you can never leave"
|
