Eagles, Hotel California (1976)
Key: :[Bm] (w: Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Don Felder)

INTRO:
[Bm] [F#7] // [A] [E]
[G] [D] // [Em] [F#7]

VERSE 1:
[Bm] On a dark desert highway, [F#7] cool wind in my hair
[A] Warm smell of colitas, [E] rising through the air
[G] Up ahead in the distance, [D] I saw a shimmering light
[Em] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, [F#7] I had to stop for the night

VERSE 2:
[Bm] There she stood in the doorway, [F#7] I heard the mission bell
[A] And I was thinking to myself, this could be [E] heaven or this could be hell
[G] Then she lit up a candle, and she [D] showed me the way
[Em] There were voices down the corridor; [F#7] I thought I heard them say

CHORUS 1:
[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
Such a [F#7] lovely place, such a [Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
Any [Em] time of year, you can [F#7] find it here

VERSE 3:
[Bm] Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#7] she got the Mercedes Benz
[A] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [E] that she calls friends
[G] How they dance in the courtyard, [D] sweet summer sweat
[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#7] some dance to forget

VERSE 4:
[Bm] So I called up the captain, [F#7] please bring me my wine
[A] He said, we haven't had that spirit here since [E] 1969
[G] And still those voices are calling from [D] far away
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#7] just to hear them say

CHORUS 2:
[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
Such a [F#7] lovely place, such a [Bm] lovely face
[G] They living it up at the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
What a [Em] nice surprise, bring your [F#7] alibis

VERSE 5:
[Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling, the [F#7] pink champagne on ice
And she said [A] we are all just prisoners here, [E] of our own device
[G] And in the master's chambers, they [D] gathered for the feast
[Em] They stab it with their steely knives but they [F#7] just can't kill the beast

VERSE 6:
[Bm] Last thing I remember, [F#7] I was running for the door
[A] I had to find the passage back, to the [E] place I was before
[G] Relax said the night man, we are [D] programmed to receive
[Em] You can check out any time you like, but [F#7] you can never leave

CHORUS 3:
[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
Such a [F#7] lovely place, such a [Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-[D]-fornia
Any [Em] time of year, you can [F#7] find it here
