Hotel California
si-
On a dark desert highway,
Fa#
cool wind in my hair
la
Warm smell of colitas,
mi
rising through the air
sol
Up ahead in the distance,
re
I saw a shimering light
mi-
My head grew heavy
Fa#
and my sight grew dim,
I had to stop for the night
si-
There she stood in the doorway,
Fa#
I heard the mission bell
la
And I was thinking to myself:
mi
this could be heaven or this could be hell
sol
Then she lit up a candle
re
and she showed me the way
mi-
There were voices down the corridor;
Fa#
I thought I heard them say:
sol re
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Fa#
Such a lovely place
si-
(such a lovely place), such a lovely face
sol re
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
mi-
Any time of year (any time of year),
Fa#
you can find it here"
Her mind is Tiffany twisted,
she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty,
pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard,
sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember,
some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
"Please bring me my wine", He said
"We haven't had that spirit
here since nineteen sixty-nine"
And still those voices are calling
from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
just to hear them say:
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place),
such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a [Em]nice surprise
(what a nice surprise), bring your alibis"
mirrors on the ceiling,
the pink champagne on ice, and she said
"We are all just prisoners here,
of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
but they just can't kill the beast
last thing I remember,
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
to the place I was before
"relax," said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like,
but you can never leave"
