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 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 door way, I heard the mission bell
A E
And I was thinking to myself this could 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 in 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
They're living it up in the Hotel California
Em F#7
Anytime of year (anytime of year) you can find it here
Bm F#7
Her mind was tiffany twisted, she got the mercedes benz...uh...
A E
She had a lot of pretty, pretty boys, who 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#7
So I called up the captain, pleeeease 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 faaaaaaaar awaaaaaay
Em 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're living it up at the Hotel California
Em F#7
Anytime of year (anytime of year) you can find it here
Bm F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champaign on ice...and she said
A E
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
G D
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for their feast
Em 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
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 anytime you'd like, but you can't never leave
