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 this could be- E 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 Bm Such a lovely face G D Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-fornia Em F# Any time of year - You can find it here. Bm Her mind is Tiffany twisted F# She got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huh A She got alot of pretty, pretty boys E That she calls friends G How they dance in the court yard D Swee--eet 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 - he said A We havenʼt had that spirit here since E Nineteen sixty nine G And still those voices are calling from D Faa--aar awaa--aay 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 Bm Such a lovely face G D Theyʼre livinʼ it up at the Hotel Cali-fornia Em What a nice surprise F# Bring your alibis Bm Mirrors on the ceiling F# Pink champagne on ice - and she said A We are all just prisoners here E Of our own device G And in the masters chambers D They gathered for their feast Em They stab it with their steely knives - but they F# just canʼt kill the beast Bm Last thing I remember,- I was F# Running for the door A I had to find the passage back, to the E place I was before G Relax said the night man we are D Programmed to receive Em You can check out any time you like F# But you can never leave
