For the song play each chords 7 times in a strumming pattern like this: CHORDS:DDUUDUD Just before your about to change the chord strum down twice then change. D=Strum Down U=Strum Up So really the strumming pattern is this: DDUUDUD...DD. VERSE: Am E7 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 E7 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell G And I was thinking to myself D This could be heaven or this could be hell F C Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way Dm There were voices down the corridor, E I thought I heard them say... CHORUS: ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eagles/hotel_california_crd_ver_5.html ) F C Welcome to the Hotel California. E7 Am Such a lovely place, such a lovely face F C There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California Dm E Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here... VERSE: Am E7 Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz G D She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends F C How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat Dm E Some dance to remember some dance to forget Am E7 So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said) G D We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 F C and still those voice are calling from far away Dm Wake you up in the middle of the night E Just to hear them say CHORUS: F C Welcome to the Hotel California. E7 Am Such a lovely place, such a lovely face F C There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California Dm E Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here... VERSE: Am E7 Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an 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 They stab it with their steely knives but they E just can't kill the beast Am E7 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door G D I had 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 anytime you like E But you can never leave... CHORUS 2: F C Welcome to the Hotel California. E7 Am Such a lovely place, such a lovely face F C There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California Dm E What a nice surprise; bring your alibis
