Куплет
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
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E
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
Припев
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Dm Am7
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
Куплет
Am E
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
F C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Dm
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E
So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine'
G D
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
F C
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E
Just to hear them say...
Припев
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm Am7
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place), Such a lovely face
F C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm E
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), Bring your alibis
Куплет
Am E
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
G D
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
F C
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives,
E
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 night man, 'We are programmed to receive.
Dm
You can check-out any time you like,
E
But you can never leave!'
