Introdução: 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 E7
There she stood in the doorway 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 Am
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm E7
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here
!--Verse--
Am E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
G D
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
F C
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E7
So I called up the captain Please bring me my wine (he said)
G D
We haven' t had that spirit here since 1969
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 Am
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F C
They' re livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm E7
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis
!--Verse--
Am E7
Mirrors on the ceiling the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G D
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
F C
and in the master' s chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7
just can' t kill the beast
Am E7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G D
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F C
"Relax" said the night man we are programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out any time you like
E7
But you can never leave...
