Am E
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 E
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
Am E
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
G D
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
F C
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Dm E
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say:
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm Am
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm E
Any time of year... any time of year... you can find it here
Am E
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
F C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm E
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E
So I called up the captain, 'Please bring me my wine,' he said
G D
'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
F C
And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm E
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm Am
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
F C
Livin it up at the Hotel California
Dm E
What a nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your alibis
Am E
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 E
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Am E
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 nightman, 'We are programmed to receive'
Dm E
'You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave'
REPETE Refrão
Am E G D F C (Vocalizes)
Dm E
'You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave'
Am 3 x pra baixo.
