Hotel California chords
The Eagles

B minorBm F#F# A augmentedA E MajorE G+G D MajorD E minorEm F#F# 2x *

B minorBm            F#F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G+G              D MajorD
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
E minorEm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
F#F#
I had to stop for the night

B minorBm
There she stood in the doorway;
F#F#
I heard the mission bell
A augmentedA
And I was thinking to myself,
        E MajorE
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
G+G                D MajorD
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
E minorEm
There were voices down the corridor,
F#F#
I thought I heard them say...

G+G            D MajorD
Welcome to the hotel California;
    F#F#
such a lovely place,
    B minorBm
such a lovely face
G+G                D MajorD
Plenty of room at the hotel California,
  E minorEm          F#F#
any time of year, you can find it here

B minorBm              F#F#
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
A augmentedA                     E MajorE
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G+G                D MajorD
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
E minorEm           F#F#
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

B minorBm
So I called up the captain,
F#F#
'please bring me my wine'
     A augmentedA                   E MajorE
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
G+G                    D MajorD
And still those voices are calling from far away
E minorEm
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
F#F#
just to hear them say

G+G            D MajorD
Welcome to the hotel California;
    F#F#
such a lovely place,
    B minorBm
such a lovely face
G+G                   D MajorD
They're livin' it up at the hotel California
    E minorEm            F#F#
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

B minorBm
Mirrors on the ceiling,
F#F#
the pink champagne on ice
       A augmentedA                E MajorE
And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
G+G
And in the master's chambers,
D MajorD
they gathered for the feast
E minorEm
The stab it with their steely knives,
     F#F#
but they just can't kill the beast

B minorBm
Last thing I remember, I was
F#F#
running for the door
A augmentedA
I had to find the passage back,
    E MajorE
to the place I was before
G+G
'relax,' said the night man,
    D MajorD
we are programmed to receive.
E minorEm
You can checkout any time you like,
F#F#
but you can never leave!
