Hotel California  Eagles



Intro: Bm - F# - A - E - G - D - Em - F# (2X)

Verse
[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitas, [E]rising up 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#]I had to stop for the night
  [Bm]There she stood in the doorway,  [F#]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,[D] and she showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor, [F#]I thought I heard them say:
Chorus
G                           D    [Fill 1]
Welcome to the Hotel California
       F#                                            Bm [Fill 2]
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any [Em]time of year... any time of year... you can [F#]find it here

Verse
[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes bends, uh!
[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#]some dance to forget
  [Bm]So I called up the captain, [F#]"Please bring me my wine," he said
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty-nine"

Verse
[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]the 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, [D]they gathered for the feast
[Em]They stab it with their steely knives, but they [F#]just can't kill the beast
  [Bm]Last thing I remember, [F#]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 nightman, "We are [D]programmed to receive"
[Em]"You can check out anytime you like, [F#]but you can never leave"

Hotel California (Sem Tablatura)
Tom: Bm
  O[Bm]n a dark desert highway, c[F#]ool wind in my hair
W[A]arm smell of colitas r[E]ising up through the air
U[G]p ahead in the distance, I[D] saw a shimmering light
M[Em]y head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I[F#] had to stop for the night
T[Bm]here she stood in the doorway;  I[F#] heard the mission bell
A[A]nd I was thinking to myself this could be h[E]eaven or this could be hell
T[G]hen she lit up a candle, [D]and she showed me the way
T[Em]here were voices down the corridor, I[F#] thought I heard them say
Chorus:
W[G]elcome to the Hotel Calif[D]ornia.
Such a l[Em]ovely place, such a l[Bm7]ovely face
Plen[G]ty of room at the Hotel Californ[D]ia
Any time[Em] of year (any time of year) you can find[F#] it here
H[Bm]er mind is Tiffany twisted, she g[F#]ot the Mercedes bends
S[A]he got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that sh[E]e calls friends
H[G]ow they dance in the cour[D]tyard, sweet summer sweat
S[Em]ome dance to remember, some dance to [F#]forget
S[Bm]o I called up the captain;  "Plea[F#]se bring me my wine."
"[A]We haven't had that spirit here since ninet[E]een sixty-nine"
[G]And still those voices are calling from [D]far away
W[Em]ake you up in the middle of the night, jus[F#]t to hear them say
Chorus:
W[G]elcome to the Hotel Calif[D]ornia.
Such a l[Em]ovely place, such a l[Bm7]ovely face
They[G] livin' it up at the Hotel Calif[D]ornia
What a[Em] nice surprise (what a nice surprise) br[F#]ing your alibis
M[Bm]irrors on the ceiling, the pink c[F#]hampagne on ice
A[A]nd she said "We are all just prisoners here, of o[E]ur own device"
A[G]nd in the master's chambers, they gathe[D]red for the feast
T[Em]hey stab it with their steely knives, but [F#]they just can't kill the beast
L[Bm]ast thing I remember, I was runni[F#]ng for the door
I[A] had to find the passage back to the place I was [E]before
"[G]Relax" said the nightman, "We are progr[D]ammed to receive"
"[Em]You can check out anytime you like, but yo[F#]u can never leave"
