Hotel California Guitar Chords Progression – Eagles
Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse]
{Am} On a dark desert highway, {E7}cool wind in my hair
{G} Warm smell of colitas{D} rising up through the air
{F} Up ahead in the distance, {C}I saw a shimmering light
{Dm} My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
{E7} I had to stop for the night
{Am} There she stood in the doorway; {E7}I heard the mission bell
{G} And I was thinking to myself
This could be {D}heaven or this could be hell
{F} Then she lit up a candle, {C}and she showed me the way
{Dm} There were voices down the corridor,
{E7} I thought I heard them say…
[Chorus]
{F} Welcome to the Hotel Calif{C}ornia.
Such a {E7}lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a {Am}lovely face
{F}Plenty of room at the Hotel Calif{C}ornia
Any {Dm}time of year, (any time of year) You can {E7}find it here
[Verse]
{Am} Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, {E7}She got the Mercedes bends
{G} She got a lot of pretty pretty boys {D} she calls friends
{F} How they danced in the courtyard, {C}sweet summer sweat
{Dm} Some dance to remember, {E7}some dance to forget
{Am} So I called up the captain;{E7} Please bring me my wine (he said)
{G} We haven’t had that spirit here since {D}1969
{F} and still those voices are calling from {C}far away
{Dm} Wake you up in the middle of the night
{E7} Just to hear them say…
[Chorus]
{F} Welcome to the Hotel Cali{C}fornia.
Such a {E7}lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a {Am}lovely face
They’re {F}livin’ it up at the Hotel Calif{C}ornia
What a {Dm}nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your {E7}alibis
[Verse]
{Am} Mirrors on the ceiling; {E7}the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
{G} We are all just prisoners here,{D} of our own device
{F} and in the master’s chambers, {C}they gathered for the feast
{Dm} They stab it with their steely knives but they
{E7}just can’t kill the beast
{Am} Last thing I remember, I was {E7}running for the door
{G} I had to find the passage back to the {D}place I was before
{F} “Relax” said the night man; we are{C} programmed to receive
{Dm} You can check out any time you like
{E7} But you can never leave…
