Cm On a dark desert highway G Cool wind in my hair A# Warm smell of Colitas F Rising up through the air G# Up ahead in the distance D# I saw a shimmering light Fm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim G I had to stop for the night Cm There she stood in the doorway G I heard the mission bell A# And I was thinking to myself this could be- F Heaven or this could be Hell G# Then she lit up a candle D# And she showed me the way Fm There were voices down the corridor G I thought I heard them say Chorus: G# D# Welcome to the Hotel California G Such a lovely place Cm Such a lovely face G# D# Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-fornia Fm G Any time of year - You can find it here. Cm Her mind is Tiffany twisted G She got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huh A# She got alot of pretty, pretty boys F That she calls friends G# How they dance in the court yard D# Swee--eet summer sweat Fm Some dance to remember G some dance to forget Cm So I called up the captain G Please bring me my wine - he said A# We havenʼt had that spirit here since F Nineteen sixty nine G# And still those voices are calling from D# Faa--aar awaa--aay Fm Wake you up in the middle of the night G Just to hear them say Chorus: G# D# Welcome to the Hotel California G Such a lovely place Cm Such a lovely face G# D# Theyʼre livinʼ it up at the Hotel Cali-fornia Fm What a nice surprise G Bring your alibis Cm Mirrors on the ceiling G Pink champagne on ice - and she said A# We are all just prisoners here F Of our own device G# And in the masters chambers D# They gathered for their feast Fm They stab it with their steely knives - but they G just canʼt kill the beast Cm Last thing I remember,- I was G Running for the door A# I had to find the passage back, to the F place I was before G# Relax said the night man we are D# Programmed to receive Fm You can check out any time you like G But you can never leave
