Hotel California

8  8  8   -8  -8   -8   8     8   8  -8  -8  -8 
On a dark des-ert high-way, Cool wind in my hair 

  8    8   -8 -8 -8  8    8   8   8   -8    -8  -8 7 -6 
Warm smell of co-li-tas, Ris-ing up through the air-- 

8  -9  8  -8  7   7    8   7 -8  8  8   -8   7    7 
Up a-head in the dis-tance I saw a shim-mer-ing light 

-7  -8   -8  -8  -8 -8   7  -8     7  -8 
My head grew hea-vy,and my sight grew dim 

7  8   8  8   -8  -8    8 
I had to stop for the night 

  8    8    -9   8  8   -9   8 
There she stood in the door-way 

-7  8    8   8   -8   -8 
I heard the mis-sion bell 

 6 -8 -8   -8    7  -8 -8  8 
And I was think-ing to my-self 

  8    8    8  8   8  8    8   -8   -8  -8 7 -6 
This could be Hea-ven or this could be  Hell-- 

  8   8   8  -8 7 -8   8  -6   6    8    -8  7  7 
Then she lit up a can-dle And she showed me the way 

 -8    -8   7  -8   -8   7   -8  7  -8 
There were voi-ces down the cor-ri-dor 

-8  8    -8   8     9  -8 
I thought I heard them say 

Chorus- 

-9  -9   -9 -9  -9  -9  -9  9 -9 -9 8  8 
Wel-come to the Ho-tel Cal--i-for--nia 

  8  8  8   -8  -8     8   8   8  -8   -8 
Such a love-ly place, Such a love-ly place (background) 

  7  -8 -8   7  7 
Such a love-ly face 

  8  -9 -9  -9  -9  -9 -9 -9   9 -9 -9 8  8 
Plen-ty of room at the Ho-tel Cal-i-for--nia 

-8 8  8   -8  -8  -8 8  8   -8  -8 
An-y time of year,An-y time of year (background) 

-8   -9  -9   8   8  -8  -9   -9   8  8 
You can find it here You can find it here 

verse2. 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted 
She's got the Mercedes Benz 
She's 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 1969  
And still those voices 
are calling from far away 
Wake you up in the middle of the night 
Just to hear them say 

Chorus- 

Welcome to the Hotel California 
Such a lovely Place, 
Such a lovely Place (background) 
Such a lovely face, 
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California 
What a nice surprise, 
What a nice surprise (background) 
Bring your alibies 

verse3. 
Mir-rors on the ceil-ing,Pink cham-pagne on ice 
And she said, We are all just pris-on-ers here 
Of our own de-vice  
And in the mast-er's cham-bers 
They gath-ered for the feast 
They stab it with their steel-y knives 
But they just can't kill the beast 
Last thing I re-mem-ber, 
I was run-ning for the door 
I had to find the pas-sage back 
to the place I was be-fore 
Re-lax said the night-man, 
 We are pro-gramed to re-cieve 
You can check out an-y time you like 

 8   8   8   8  8     8   
But you can nev-er leave
