Bm F#7 A E G D Em

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

EThis 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 BmSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

G DPlenty of room at the Hotel California

Em F#7Any 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 BmSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

G DThey're livin' it up at the Hotel California

Em F#7What 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#7just 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...
