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