C#m On a dark desert highway G# Cool wind in my hair B Warm smell of Colitas F#7 Rising up through the air A Up ahead in the distance E I saw a shimmering light F#m My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim G# I had to stop for the night C#m There she stood in the doorway G# I heard the mission bell B And I was thinking to myself this could be- F#7 Heaven or this could be Hell A Then she lit up a candle E And she showed me the way F#m There were voices down the corridor G# I thought I heard them say Chorus: A E Welcome to the Hotel California G# Such a lovely place C#m Such a lovely face A E Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-fornia F#m G# Any time of year - You can find it here. C#m Her mind is Tiffany twisted G# She got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huh B She got alot of pretty, pretty boys F#7 That she calls friends A How they dance in the court yard E Swee--eet summer sweat F#m Some dance to remember G# some dance to forget C#m So I called up the captain G# Please bring me my wine - he said B We havenʼt had that spirit here since F#7 Nineteen sixty nine A And still those voices are calling from E Faa--aar awaa--aay F#m Wake you up in the middle of the night G# Just to hear them say Chorus: A E Welcome to the Hotel California G# Such a lovely place C#m Such a lovely face A E Theyʼre livinʼ it up at the Hotel Cali-fornia F#m What a nice surprise G# Bring your alibis C#m Mirrors on the ceiling G# Pink champagne on ice - and she said B We are all just prisoners here F#7 Of our own device A And in the masters chambers E They gathered for their feast F#m They stab it with their steely knives - but they G# just canʼt kill the beast C#m Last thing I remember,- I was G# Running for the door B I had to find the passage back, to the F#7 place I was before A Relax said the night man we are E Programmed to receive F#m You can check out any time you like G# But you can never leave
