Hotel California Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]On [Am]a dark [E]desert highw[Am]ay,[E]
[Am]cool[E]ing in my hair
[G]Warm smell of collegias,
[D]ris[G]ing[D] out th[Am]rough the air[Dm][D]
[E]Up [F]ahe[C]ad in the dis[F]tance,
[C]I saw a s[G]himmering l[C]ight[G]
[C]My [Dm]head grew heavy[Am]
and my [Dm]sight grew dim
[E]I had to stop for the n[C]ight
[E]There [Am]he stood[E] at the door[Am]way,
[E]I heard the mission bell
And [G]I was thinking to myself,
[D]this cou[G]ld be hea[D]ven,
or [Am]this could be [Dm]hell[D][E]
[F]Then he [C]lit up a [F]candle,
[C]and he [G]showed [C]me the [G]way[C]
[Dm]There were voices down the corridor,
[Am]I th[Dm]ought[E] I heard them say
[F]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[C]nia
Such a [E]lovely place,
such a lovely place,
such a [Am]lovely [G]face[C][Dm][C][F]
[C][Dm][Am][Dm][E]
[Am]
He's [E]got the Mercedes -Benz,
[G]he's got the Lada,
lot of pretty, pretty [D]girls
That [Am]he calls fr[Dm]iends[D][E]
[F]How they dan[C]ce in [F]the courtyard
[C]Sweet summer sway
[Dm]Some dance to remember and
[E]Some dance to forget
[Am]So I call [E]up the capta[Am]in
[C]Please [E]bring me my wine, he said
[G]We haven't had that spirit here
since [D]1969[Am][G][D][Am]
[E]And[F] sti[C]ll those voi[F]ces are calling
from [C]far away
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[E]Just to hear them say
[F]Welcome to the Hotel California[C]
Such a [E]lovely place,
such a lovely place,
such a [Am]lovely [C]face[Am]
[F]They're it up at the Hotel Califor[C]nia
What a [Dm]nice sur[Am]prise
[Dm]Bring your alibi[E]s
[Am]Mirrors [Dm]on the c[Am]eiling
[E]The pink champagne on ice
And he [Em]said
[G]We are all just prisoners here
[D]On our own [Dm]device
An[F]d in the master's chambers,
[C]they gathered for the feast
[Dm]They stab it with their steely knives,
but they [E]just can't kill the [C]beast
[G]Las[Am]t thing I remember,
[C]I w[E]as running for the door
[G]I had to find the passage
back to the [D]place I [Am]was before
[Dm]Rela[Am]xed a[Em]t the[F] nig[C]htmare[F]
[Am]we a[C]re programmed to recei[G]ve
[Dm]You can check out any time you like
[E]But you can never [Am]leave[E]
[G][D][Dm][F]
[C][Dm][E][Am]
