[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                                        F#
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, 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#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
[Chorus]
 G                         D
"Welcome to the Hotel California

       F#                                         Bm
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place), Such a lovely face

 G                               D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California

    Em                                        F#
Any time of year (Any time of year), You can find it here"
[Verse 2]
Bm                           F#
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz

A                                     E
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, She calls friends

G                                D
How they dance in the courtyard, Sweet summer sweat

Em                      F#
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 - 1969"

G                                       D
And still those voices are calling from far away

Em                                      F#
Wake you up in the middle of the night, Just to hear them say
[Chorus]
 G                         D
"Welcome to the Hotel California

       F#                                         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#
What a nice surprise (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 gathered for the feast

Em                                              F#
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
"Relax," said the night man

        D                      Em
"We are programmed to receive, You can check out any time you like

F#
But you can never leave!"
