D#m A#7 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

C# G# Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

B F# Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

G#m My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

A#7 I had to stop for the night

D#m A#7 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell

C# And I was thinking to myself

G#This could be heaven or this could be hell

B F# Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way

G#m There were voices down the corridor,

A#7 I thought I heard them say...

B F# Welcome to the Hotel California.

A#7 D#mSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

B F#Plenty of room at the Hotel California

G#m A#7Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here

D#m A#7 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends

C# G# She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends

B F# How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

G#m A#7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

D#m A#7 So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)

C# G# We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

B F# and still those voices are calling from far away

G#m Wake you up in the middle of the night

A#7 Just to hear them say...

B F# Welcome to the Hotel California.

A#7 D#mSuch a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

B F#They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

G#m A#7What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis

D#m A#7 Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)

C# G# We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

B F# and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast

G#m They stab it with their steely knives but they

A#7just can't kill the beast

D#m A#7 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

C# G# I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

B F# "Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive

G#m You can check out any time you like

A#7 But you can never leave...
