EAGLES-HOTEL CALIFORNIA

G                                 D
 How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em7                      F#7
 Some dance to remember,  some dance to forget
Bm7                          F#7
 So I called up the captain;  "Please bring me my wine." He said;
A                                       E9
 "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
G                                        D
 And still those voices are calling from far away
Em7                                      F#7
 Wake you up in the middle of the night,  just to hear them say
 
{Chorus}
G                            D
 Welcome to the Hotel California.
        F#7                  Bm7
 Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
      G                                D
 They livin' if up at the Hotel California
        Em7                                             F#7
 What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis

Bm7                      F#7
 Mirrors on the ceiling,  the pink champagne on ice. And she said;
A                                E9 
 "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
G                             D
 And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em7                                              F#7
 They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
 

Bm7                           F#7
 Last thing I remember, I was  running for the door
A                                      E9
 I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
G                                   D
 "Relax" said the nightman, "We are  programmed to receive"
Em7                                   F#7
 "You can check out anytime you like,  but you can never leave"
