F#m C#7 E B D A Bm
F#m C#7 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
E B Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
D A Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Bm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
C#7 I had to stop for the night
F#m C#7 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
E And I was thinking to myself
BThis could be heaven or this could be hell
D A Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Bm There were voices down the corridor,
C#7 I thought I heard them say...
D A Welcome to the Hotel California.
C#7 F#mSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
D APlenty of room at the Hotel California
Bm C#7Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here
F#m C#7 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
E B She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
D A How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Bm C#7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
F#m C#7 So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
E B We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
D A and still those voices are calling from far away
Bm Wake you up in the middle of the night
C#7 Just to hear them say...
D A Welcome to the Hotel California.
C#7 F#mSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
D AThey're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Bm C#7What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis
F#m C#7 Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
E B We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
D A and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Bm They stab it with their steely knives but they
C#7just can't kill the beast
F#m C#7 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
E B I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
D A "Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Bm You can check out any time you like
C#7 But you can never leave...
