[Verse 1]
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#7
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#7
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...


[Chorus]
G D F#7 Bm
Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely face.
G D Em F#7
Plenty of room at the Hotel California, any time of year, you can find it here.


[Verse 2]
Bm F#
Her mind is Tiffanytwisted, 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#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
Bm F#
So I called up the Captain, "please bring me my wine".
A E
He said "we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine".
G D
And still those voices are calling from far away.
Em F#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...


[Chorus]
G D F#7 Bm
Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely face.
G D Em F#7
They living it up at the Hotel California. What a nice surprise, bring your alibis.


[Verse 3]
Bm F#
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice.
A E
And she said "we are all just prisoners here, of our own device".
G D
And in the master's chambers, they've gathered for the feast.
Em F#7
They stab it with their steely knives, but they 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#7
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
