\r
5 [Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair. [A]Warm smell of colitas, [E]rising up through the air
\r
6 [G]Up ahead in the distance, [D]I saw a shimmering light. [Em]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
\r
7 [F#]I had to stop for the night
\r
9 [Bm]There she stood in the doorway, [F#]I heard the mission bell
\r
10 [A]And I was thinking to myself this could be [E]heaven or this could be hell
\r
11 [G]Then she lit up a candle,[D] and she showed me the way
\r
12 [Em]There were voices down the corridor, [F#]I thought I heard them say
\r
14 [G]. Welcome to the Hotel [D]California.
\r
15 Such a [F#]lovely place... such a lovely place... [Bm]such a lovely face
\r
16 [G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[D]nia.
\r
17 Any [Em]time of year... any time of year... you can [F#]find it here
\r
20 [Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes bends, uh!
\r
21 [A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys [E]that she calls friends
\r
22 [G]How they dance in the courtyard, [D]sweet summer sweat
\r
23 [Em]Some dance to remember, [F#]some dance to forget
\r
25 [Bm]So I called up the captain, [F#]"Please bring me my wine," he said
\r
26 [A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty-nine"
\r
27 [G]And still those voices are calling from [D]far away
\r
28 [Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#]just to hear them
\r
30 [G]. Welcome to the Hotel [D]California.
\r
31 Such a [F#]lovely place... such a lovely place... [Bm]such a lovely face
\r
32 [G]Livin it up at the Hotel Califor[D]nia.
\r
33 What a [Em]nice surprise.. what a nice surprise.. bring your [F#]alibis
\r
35 [Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]the pink champagne on ice, and she said,
\r
36 [A]"We are all just prisoners here, [E]of our own device"
\r
37 [G]And in the master's chambers, [D]they gathered for the feast
\r
38 [Em]They stab it with their steely knives, but they [F#]just can't kill the beast
\r
40 [Bm]Last thing I remember, [F#]I was running for the door
\r
41 [A]I had to find the passage back to the [E]place I was before
\r
42 [G]"Relax" said the nightman, "We are [D]programmed to receive"
\r
43 [Em]"You can check out anytime you like, [F#]but you can never leave"
