Dm On a dark desert highway A Cool wind in my hair C Warm smell of Colitas G7 Rising up through the air A# Up ahead in the distance F I saw a shimmering light Gm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim A I had to stop for the night Dm There she stood in the doorway A I heard the mission bell C And I was thinking to myself this could be- G7 Heaven or this could be Hell A# Then she lit up a candle F And she showed me the way Gm There were voices down the corridor A I thought I heard them say Chorus: A# F Welcome to the Hotel California A Such a lovely place Dm Such a lovely face A# F Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-fornia Gm A Any time of year - You can find it here. Dm Her mind is Tiffany twisted A She got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huh C She got alot of pretty, pretty boys G7 That she calls friends A# How they dance in the court yard F Swee--eet summer sweat Gm Some dance to remember A some dance to forget Dm So I called up the captain A Please bring me my wine - he said C We havenʼt had that spirit here since G7 Nineteen sixty nine A# And still those voices are calling from F Faa--aar awaa--aay Gm Wake you up in the middle of the night A Just to hear them say Chorus: A# F Welcome to the Hotel California A Such a lovely place Dm Such a lovely face A# F Theyʼre livinʼ it up at the Hotel Cali-fornia Gm What a nice surprise A Bring your alibis Dm Mirrors on the ceiling A Pink champagne on ice - and she said C We are all just prisoners here G7 Of our own device A# And in the masters chambers F They gathered for their feast Gm They stab it with their steely knives - but they A just canʼt kill the beast Dm Last thing I remember,- I was A Running for the door C I had to find the passage back, to the G7 place I was before A# Relax said the night man we are F Programmed to receive Gm You can check out any time you like A But you can never leave
