Hotel California Chords

Am7 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, B7 I had to stop for the night. Em B7 There she stood in the doorway.

C G And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast. Am7 B7 They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast. Em B7 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. Dsus2 A9/C# (Br up to C) I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. C G "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. Am7 B7
