Eagles-Hotel California
[Intro - BPM 75] Bm F# A E G D Em F# 2x
[Verse 1 - Drums in] [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, I
[D] 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,
[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#] I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus] [G] Welcome to the hotel Cali
[D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the hotel Cali
[D] fornia,
[Em] time of year, you can
[F#] find it here
[Verse 2] [Bm] Her mind is tiffany-twisted,
[F#] she got the Mercedes Benz
[A] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that
[E] 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
[A] haven t had that spirit here since
[E] nineteen sixty nine
[G] And still those voices are calling from
[D] far away
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night,
[F#] just to hear them say
[Chorus] [G] Welcome to the hotel Cali
[D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] They re living it up at the hotel Cali
[D] fornia
[Em] nice surprise, bring your
[F#] alibis
[Verse 3] [Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[F#] the pink champagne on ice
[A] we are all just prisoners here,
[E] of our own device
[G] And in the masters chambers,
[D] they gathered for the feast
[Em] The stab it with their steely knives,
[F#] just (snare) can't (snare) kill the (snare - flamenco fill) beast
[Bm] Last thing I remember, I was
[F#] running for the door
[A] I had to find the passage back,
[E] place I was before
[G] relax, said the night man,
[D] programmed to receive.
[Em] You can checkout any time you like,
[F#] (F#stop+snare) but you can never leave! (F#F#F#)
[Another Chorus? - use snare to bring back in] [G] Welcome to the hotel Cali
[D] fornia;
[F#] lovely place,
[Bm] lovely face
[G] They re living it up at the hotel Cali
[D] fornia
[Em] nice surprise, bring your
[F#] alibis
