The Singing Scoutmaster: Hotel California

Em B7 D A C G Am B7

EmOn a dark desert highway B7cool wind in my hair

DWarm smell of colitas Arising up through the air

CUp ahead in the distance GI saw a shimmering light

AmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

B7I had to stop for the night

EmThere she stood in the doorway B7I heard the mission bell

DAnd I was thinking to myself this could be Aheaven or this could be hell

CThen she lit up a candle Gand she showed me the way

AmThere were voices down the corridor B7I thought I heard them say

CWelcome to the Hotel CaliGfornia

Such a Amlovely place such a Emlovely face

CPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliGfornia

Any Amtime of year you can B7find it here

EmHer mind is Tiffany twisted B7she got the Mercedes bends

DShe got a lot of pretty pretty boys Athat she calls friends

CHow they dance in the courtyard Gsweet summer sweat

AmSome dance to remember B7some dance to forget

EmSo I called up the captain B7please bring me my wine

He said Dwe haven't had that spirit here since Anineteen sixty-nine

CAnd still those voices are calling from Gfar away

AmWake you up in the middle of the night B7just to hear them say

CWelcome to the Hotel CaliGfornia

Such a Amlovely place such a Emlovely face

CPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliGfornia

Any Amtime of year you can B7find it here

EmMirrors on the ceiling B7the pink champagne on ice

And she said Dwe are all just prisoners here Aof our own device

CAnd in the master's chambers Gthey gathered for the feast

AmThey stab it with their steely knives but they B7just can't kill the beast

EmLast thing I remember I was B7running for the door

DI had to find the passage back to the Aplace I was before

CRelax said the nightman we are Gprogrammed to receive
