[Verse]
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...
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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...
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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...
