Key: A
Introduction:
Am E7/G
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G2 D9/F
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
F C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7
I had to stop for the night
Am E7/G
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
G2 D9/F
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
F C
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7 Am
Such a lovely place... such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Am E7
Any time of year you can find it here
Am E7/G#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends, uh!
G2 D9/F
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
F C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm7 E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E7/G
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine," he said
G2 D9/F#
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
F C
And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm7 E7
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
F G
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7 Am
Such a lovely place such a lovely face
F C
Livin it up at the Hotel California
Am E7
What a nice surprise bring your alibis
Am E7/G#
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said,
G2 D9/F#
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
F C
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm7 E7
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
Am E7/G#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G2 D9/F#
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F C
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
Dm7 E7
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
