Tablatures The Eagles – Hotel California

Intro : [Am][E7][G][D][F][C][Dm][E7] x2
 
[Am]On a dark desert highway, [E7]cool wind in my hair
[G]Warm smell of colitas, [D]rising through the air
[F]Up ahead in the distance, [C]I saw a shimering 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: this could be [D]heaven or this could be hell
[F]Then she lit up a candle [C]and she showed me the way
[Dm]There were voices down the corridor; [E7]I thought I heard them say:
 
"[F]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[C]nia
[E7]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face
[F]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[C]nia
Any [Dm]time of year (any time of year), you can [E7]find it here"
 
[Am]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [E7]she got the Mercedes Benz
[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [D]that she calls friends
[F]How they dance in the courtyard, [C]sweet summer sweat
[Dm]Some dance to remember, [E7]some dance to forget
 
[Am]So I called up the captain, "[E7]Please bring me my wine", He said
[G]"We haven't had that spirit here since [D]nineteen sixty-nine"
[F]And still those voices are calling from [C]far away
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night, [E7]just to hear them say:
 
"[F]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[C]nia
[E7]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face
They [F]livin' it up at the Hotel Califor[C]nia
What a [Dm]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [E7]alibis"
 
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling, [E7]the pink champagne on ice, and she said
"[G]We are all just prisoners here, [D]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 but they [E7]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 to the [D]place I was before
"[F]Relax," said the night man, "We are [C]programmed to receive
[Dm]You can check out any time you like, but [E7]you can never leave"
