Am Am                        E7 E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G G D7 D7
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
F F C C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm Dm E7 E7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night

Am Am E7 E7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G G D7 D7
And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
F F C C
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Dm Dm E7 E7
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...


Chorus:
F F C C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
Such a lovely place - Such a lovely place - Such a lovely face
F F C C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm Dm E7 E7
Any time of year - Any time of year - You can find it here


Verse:
Am Am E7 E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G G D7 D7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
F F C C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Dm Dm E7 E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Am Am E7 E7
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
G G D7 D7
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
F F C C
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Dm Dm E7 E7
Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...


Chorus:
F F C C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7 E7 Am Am E7 E7 Am Am
Such a lovely place - Such a lovely place - Such a lovely face
F F C C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm Dm E7 E7
What a nice surprise - what a nice surprise - Bring your alibis


Verse:
Am Am E7 E7
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
G G D7 D7
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
F F
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Dm Dm
They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast

Am Am E7 E7
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door
G G D7 D7
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F F C C
"Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
Dm Dm E7 E7
You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! "
