Bm                         F#7
  On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A                      E
  Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G                          D
  Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em
  My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#7
  I had to stop for the night


Bm                               F#7
  There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A
  And I was thinking to myself
                E
  This could be heaven or this could be hell
G                          D
  Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em
  There were voices down the corridor,
F#7
  I thought I heard them say..


G                             D
* Welcome to the Hotel California
       F#7                                        Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
G                               D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Em                                       F#7
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here


Bm                           F#7
 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
A                                     E
 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys  she calls friends
G                                   D
 How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em                      F#7
 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget


Bm                            F#7
  So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
A                                      E
  We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
G                                         D
  And still those voices are calling from far away
Em
  Wake you up in the middle of the night
F#7
  Just to hear them say..


G                             D
* Welcome to the Hotel California
       F#7                                        Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
        G                             D
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
       Em                                               F#7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis


Bm                       F#7
  Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
A                                E
  We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G                              D
  And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em
  They stab it with their steely knives but they
  F#7
  just can't kill the beast


Bm                            F#7
  Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A                                       E
  I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
G                                  D
  Relax, said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Em
  You can check out any time you like
F#7
  But you can never leave..
