Intro : Am E G D F C Dm E x2

1. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Am E
Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering light F C
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night Dm E

2. There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell Am E
And I was thinking to myself : this could be heaven or this could be hell G D
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way F C
There were voices down the corridor ; I thought I heard them say: Dm E

Ref:
Welcome to the Hotel California F C
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face E Am
Plenty of room at the Hotel California, F C
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here" Dm E

3. Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz Am E
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends G D
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat, F C
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Dm E

4. So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine", He said Am E
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine" G D
And still those voices are calling from far away F C
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say: Dm E

Ref:
Welcome to the Hotel California F C
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face E Am
Plenty of room at the Hotel California, F C
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here" Dm E

5. Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said Am E
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" G D
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast F C
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast Dm E

6. Last thing I remember, I was running for the door Am E
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before G D
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive F C
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave" Dm E
