The bartender asks me, says, "Son what'll it be?"
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me

Bm F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E7
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.
Bm F#7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A E7
And I was thinking to myself, This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Em F#7
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say...
Chorus-
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California...

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm F#7
So I called up the Captain, Please bring me my wine

He said, We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine

And still those voices are calling from far away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...

Verse-
Bm F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
A E7
And she said We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Bm F#7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A E7
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
G D
Relax said the night man, We are programmed to receive.

But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
Verse 2: C Am F C
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
Chorus: C Am F C G C
Chorus 2: C Am F C G C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

Am F
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
Chorus 1 and 2
A7 D A7 D
1) She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes.
G Bm G
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.
A7 D A7 F#
And she only reveals what she wants you to see.
Bm G A7 D
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me.
Bm E7 A F#m
CHORUS - Ohhh... she takes care of herself.
D G Em A7 D
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time.
Dm G7 C Am
Ohhh... and she never gives out,
Bb E E7 A
and she never gives in, she just changes her mind.
2) She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe.
And she'll take what you give her as long it's free.
She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.
CHORUS
3) And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden.
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a women to me.
CHORUS
4) She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel.
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool.
But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
but she's always a woman to me.

Intro- / G - F C / /
Listen, boy, I don't want to see you let
A good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make
The same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
/ G - / F C / - / Bm Bb Am - / Cm G Am AmC /
Oh, listen, boy, I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
... / Cm G Am GA /
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
/ D - F#m - / Bm - Em EmA / -
Listen, boy, it's not automatically
A certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide
Communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
{As Refrain}
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it everyday before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
/ F Dm Eb - / Gm C D - / 1st / Gm C A - /
Listen, boy, it's good information
From a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
E7 A Amaj7 B
From the mountains of faith To a river so deep

I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost

But the river is wide. And it's too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide

So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

Something I would never lose Something somebody stole

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep

I know I'm searching for something (Searching for some- thing)

Something so undefined (So Un-defi- ned)

By the eyes of the blind

Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:

Oh, remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man, I said Take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Verse 4
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
Chorus 2
You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Hey, but It just may be a lunatic you're looking for
