Hotel California

Ami, E, G, D, F, C, Dmi, E 

Ami
On a dark desert highway, 
E
Cool wind in my hair, 
G
Warm smell of colitas 
D
rising up through the air. 
F
Up a head in the distance, 
  C
I saw a shimmering light 
   Dmi
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, 
  E
I had to stop for the night.


There she stood in the doorway 
I heard the mission bell 
And I was thinking to myself 
this could be heaven or this could be hell 
Then she lit up a candle 
And she showed me the way 
There were voices down the coridor 
I thought I heard them say: 


F                        C
Welcome to the Hotel California. 
       E
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) 
       Ami
such a lovely face. 
F                           C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
    Dmi
Any time of year (any time of year) 
        E
you can find it here." 

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 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 programed to receive, 
You can check out any time you like, 
but you can never leave." 

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, 
she got a 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 more wine 
We haven't had that spirit 
here since nineteen sixtynine. 
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 nice surprice (what a nice surprice) 
bring your alibis.
