Lyrics :  Hotel California

[Bm]                     [F#]     

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

[A]                    [E]   

Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air

[G]                       [D]

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering 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:

--start_of_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
--end_of_chorus--

[Bm]                         [F#]

Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
[A]                                   [E]

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that 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", He said
[A]                                    [E]

"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
[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:

[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


[Bm]                    [F#]

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne 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 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]                                 [D]

"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
[Em]                                     [F#]

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
