LYRICS & CHORDS:
----------------

Bm                       F#
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#
I had to stop for the night

Bm                             F#
There she stood in the doorway… I heard the mission bell
A                                            E
And, I was thinking to myself: 'This could be heaven, or this could be hell'
G                        D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em                                  F#
There were voices down the corridor… I thought I heard them say…

G                            D
'Welcome to the Hotel California
F#                                                Bm
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)… Such a lovely face
G                                  D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Em                                       F#
Any time of year (Any time of year)… you can find it here'

Bm                          F#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
A                                    E
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys… that she calls friends
G                               D
How they dance in the courtyard… sweet summer sweat
Em                     F#
Some dance to remember… Some dance to forget

Bm                          F#
So, I called up the captain, 'Please bring me my wine'. He said
A                                     E
'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
G                                      D
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em                                     F#
Wake you up in the middle of the night… just to hear them say…

G                            D
'Welcome to the Hotel California
F#                                                Bm
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)… Such a lovely face
     G                                D
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
       Em                                               F#
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)… Bring your alibis'

Bm                     F#
Mirrors on the ceiling… 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#
just can't kill the beast

Bm                          F#
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                                       F#
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'
