[Intro]: Bm F#7 Aadd2 E9 G D Em7 F#7 x2

Bm           F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Aadd2         E9
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G            D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em7                   F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night

Bm              F#7
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
Aadd2                    E9
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
Em7                F#7
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say

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

Bm             F#7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz oh
Aadd2                E9
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, 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            F#7
So I called up the captain, please bring me my wine
   Aadd2                  E9
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                  F#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

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 living it up at the Hotel California
    Em                       F#7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

Bm          F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
      Aadd2               E9
And she said, we are all just prisoners here, of our own device
G              D
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em7                       F#7
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

Bm             F#7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
Aadd2                  E9
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
Em7                F#7
You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave
