Eagles - Hotel California Tuning: Open C6 (G C E A) Key: B minor (B C# D E F# G A B) Tempo: 75 bpm Transcribed by Robert from Astlessons Link to my tutorial on YouTube: http://youtu.be/kqyNM4w4nMs This is a straight off adaptation of the original on guitar, which means we have some advanced chords, i.e. it might be a good idea to watch the tutorial also. So if you're looking for an easy version, try some of the other available transcriptions instead. [Intro]: Bm F#7 Aadd2 E9 G D Em7 F#7 x2
BmOn a dark desert highwayF#7, cool wind in my hair Aadd2 E9 Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air GUp ahead in the distance,D I saw a shimmering light Em7My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimF#7, I had to stop for the night
BmThere she stood in the doorwayF#7, I heard the mission bell Aadd2 E9 And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell GThen she lit up a candle,D and she showed me the way Em7There were voices down the corridorF#7, I thought I heard them say

BmSo I called up the captainF#7, please bring me my wine Aadd2 E9 He said, we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine GAnd still those voices are calling from fDar away Em7Wake you up in the middle of the nightF#7, just to hear them say
GWelcome to the Hotel CalifDornia Such a F#7lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lBmovely face They lGiving it up at the Hotel CalifDornia What a nEmice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring yourF#7 alibis
BmMirrors on the ceilingF#7, the pink champagne on ice Aadd2 E9 And she said, we are all just prisoners here, of our own device GAnd in the master's chambers,D they gathered for the feast Em7They stab it with their steely knives, but they F#7just can't kill the beast
BmLast thing I remember, I waF#7s running for the door Aadd2 E9 I had to find the passage back to the place I was before GRelax said the night man, we areD programmed to receive Em7You can check-out any time you likeF#7, but you can never leave
