[Intro] Bm F# A E G D Em F#7 Bm F# A E G D Em F#7

[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 bends. 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.
