Hotel California
Bm 6:31
VERSE 1
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
CHORUS
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
VERSE 2
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
CHORUS
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
VERSE 3
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

When you were here before

Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world

You're so fucking special
A Bm D A
Twenty-five years
and my life is still
Trying to get up
that great big hill of hope
For a destination
and I try,
oh my god do I try
I try all the time,
in this institution
And I pray,
oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
Twenty-five years
and my life is still
Trying to get up
that great big hill of hope
For a destination
