Eagles - "Hotel California"

Eagles, uma super banda americana do inicio dos anos 70. À memória, cada vez que ouço esta banda, vêm-me temas como "New Kid In Town", "One Of These Nights" e "Tequila Sunrise", os quais costumava ouvir no rádio do carro de meu amigo e colega de universidade Joe Cecchini quando vivi em Toronto no Canada nos anos 70.
Mas, mais que estes temas que referi acima, "Hotel California", lançado em 1976, é sem dúvida o tema que irá imortalizar esta banda por todos os tempos e decerto é ouvida em todo o mundo, desde a China, à Ucrânia, Portugal ao Brasil, África ou Austrália.
Sendo um tema muito bom para tocar no Violão, inclusive a "Cris" está a aprender a dedilhar com ele, aqui fica também no blogue, espero que para gáudio geral.

Vídeo (Versão Acústica) - Hotel California
Acordes Para Violão - Hotel California
BmF#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
AE
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
GD
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering light
EmF#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night

BmF#
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
AE
And I was thinking to myself: this could be heaven or this could be hell
GD
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
EmF#
There were voices down the corridor; I thought I heard them say:

GD
 "Welcome to the Hotel California
F#Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
GD
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
EmF#
 Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here"

BmF#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
AE
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
GD
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
EmF#
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

BmF#
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine", He said
AE
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
GD
And still those voices are calling from far away
EmF#
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say:

GD
 "Welcome to the Hotel California
F#Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
GD
 They livin' it up at the Hotel California
EmF#
 What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis"


BmF#
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said
AE
 "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
GD
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
EmF#
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

BmF#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
AE
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
GD
 "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
EmF#
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
