Intro : Bm F# A E G D Em F#

Bm
On a dark desert highway
F
Cool wind in my hair
A
Warm smell of colitas
E
Rising up through the air
G
Up ahead in the distance
D
I saw a shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F
I had to stop for the night
Bm
There she stood in the doorway
F
I heard the mission bell
A
And I was thinking to myself
E
This could be heaven or this could be hell
G
Then she lit up a candle
D
And she showed me the way
Em
There were voices down the corridor
F
I thought I heard them say

Chorus :

G D
 Welcome to the hotel California
F#
 Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Bm
 Such a lovely face
G D
 Plenty of room at the hotel California
Em
 Any time of year (any time of year)
F#
 You can find it here
Bm
Her mind is tiffany-twisted
F
She got the Mercedes bends
A
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
E
That she calls friends
G
How they dance in the courtyard
D
Sweet summer sweat.
Em
Some dance to remember
F
Some dance to forget
Bm
So I called up the captain
F
Please bring me my wine
A
He said, we haven t had that spirit here since
E
Nineteen sixty nine
G
And still those voices are calling
D
From far away
Em
Wake you up in the middle of the night
F
Just to hear them say

Chorus :

G D
 Welcome to the hotel California
F#
 Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Bm
 Such a lovely face
G
 They're living it up at
D
 The hotel California
Em
 What a nice surprise
F#
 Bring your alibis
Bm
Mirrors on the ceiling
F
The pink champagne on ice
A
And she said we are all just prisoners here
E
Of our own device
G
And in the master s chambers
D
They gathered for the feast
Em
The stab it with their steely knives,
F#
But they just can t kill the beast
Bm
Last thing I remember, I was
F
Running for the door
A
I had to find the passage back
E
To the place I was before
G
Relax, said the night man
D
We are programmed to receive
Em
You can checkout any time you like
F
But you can never leave!

Outro : Bm F# A E G D Em F#
