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