Verse 1
Bm F#7
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
Verse 2
Bm F#7
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
A
And I was thinking to myself
E
This could be heaven or this could be hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em
There were voices down the corridor,
F#7
I thought I heard them say...
Chorus
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#7 Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
G D
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#7
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here...
Verse 3
Bm F#7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
A E
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
G D
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em F#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Verse 4
Bm F#7
So I called up the captain; "Please bring me my wine" (he said)
A E
"We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
G D
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em
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 Bm
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
G D
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Em F#7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Verse 5
Am E7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G D
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
F C
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives, but they
E7
Just can't kill the beast
Verse 6
Bm F#7
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
You can check out any time you like
F#7
But you can never leave"
