Chord Eagles - Hotel California

Intro:
Am  – E7 – G – D – F – C – Dm – E7

Am                  E7

On a dark desert highway,  cool wind in my hair
G                     D

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
F                      C

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7

I had to stop for the night

Am

There she stood in the doorway;
E7

I heard the mission bell
G

And I was thinking to myself,
D

“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
F                      C

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Dm

There were voices down the corridor,
E7

I thought I heard them say…

Chorus:
F                      C

Welcome to the Hotel California

E7

Such a  lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Am

Such a  lovely face
F                      C

Plenty of room at the Hotel California 

Dm

Anytime of year (Any time of year) 

E7

You can find it here

Verse:
Am                  E7

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,  she got the Mercedes Benz

G                                 D

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends

F                                  C

How they dance in the courtyard,  sweet summer sweat.
Dm                              E7      

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Am

So I called up the Captain,
E7

“Please bring me my wine”
G                                                         D

He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine”
F                                  C

And still those voices are calling from far away,
Dm

Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7

Just to hear them say…

Chorus:
F                      C

Welcome to the Hotel California
E7

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Am

Such a lovely face
F                      C

Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm

Any time of year (Any time of year)
E7

You can find it here

Am

Mirrors on the ceiling,
E7

The pink champagne on ice
G                                                         D

And she said “We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”
F

And in the master’s chambers,
C

They gathered for the feast
Dm

They stab it with their steely knives,
E7

But they just can’t kill the beast

Am

Last thing I remember, I was
E7

Running for the door
G

I had to find the passage back
D

To the place I was before
F“Relax, ” said the night man,
C

“We are programmed to receive.
Dm

You can check-out any time you like,
E7

But you can never leave! ”

Solo:
Am  – E7 – G – D – F – C – Dm – E7
