Verse 1:
Bm            F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A           E7
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G              D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
F#7
I had to stop for the night

Bm
There she stood in the doorway;
F#7
I heard the mission bell
A
And I was thinking to myself,
       E7
this could be heaven or this could be hell
G                D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Em7
There were voices down the corridor,
F#7
I thought I heard them say...

Chorus:
G            D
Welcome to the hotel California;
    F#7
such a lovely place,
    Bm
such a lovely face
G                D
Plenty of room at the hotel California,
  Em7          F#7
any time of year, you can find it here

Verse 2:
Bm              F#7
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
A                     E7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G                D
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Em7           F#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Bm
So I called up the captain,
F#7
please bring me my wine
      A                 E7
He said, we haven t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
G                    D
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em7
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
such a lovely place,
    Bm
such a lovely face
G                   D
They re living it up at the hotel California
    Em7            F#7
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Verse 3:
Bm
Mirrors on the ceiling,
F#7
the pink champagne on ice
       A                E7
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G
And in the master s chambers,
D
they gathered for the feast
Em7
The stab it with their steely knives,
     F#7
but they just can't kill the beast

Bm
Last thing I remember, I was
F#7
running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back,
    E7
to the place I was before
G
relax, said the night man,
    D
we are programmed to receive.
Em7
You can checkout any time you like,
F#7
but you can never leave!
