    Hotel California...

    Hey...I love this song...
    Here are the chords for you...
    It was originally posted by I_Me_Myself...

    [Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]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 shimering 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:

    {start_of_chorus}
    "[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
    [F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
    [G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
    Any [Em]time of year (any time of year), you can [F#]find it here"
    {end_of_chorus}

    [Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]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#]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"
    [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:

    "[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
    [F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
    They [G]livin' it up at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
    What a [Em]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [F#]alibis"


    [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, I was [F#]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#]you can never leave"
