                        x2

Verse

Am               E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G             D
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
F               C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7
I had to stop for the night

Am                     E7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself
              D
This could be heaven or this could be hell
F                 C
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Dm
There were voices down the corridor,
E7
I thought I heard them say...

Chorus

F                    C
Welcome to the Hotel California
       E7                                       Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F                           C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Dm                                   E7
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here

Verse

Am          E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G                               D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys   she calls friends
F                      C
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm            E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Am                 E7
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
G                               D
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
F                                  C
And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7
Just to hear them say...

Chorus

F                    C
Welcome to the Hotel California
       E7                                       Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
        F                         C
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
       Dm                                          E7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

Verse

Am             E7
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G                         D
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
F                   C
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7
just can't kill the beast

Am                       E7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G                                 D
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F                             C
Relax, said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out any time you like
E7
But you can never leave...
