Am E G D F C Dm E

 
Am                       
On a dark desert highway, 
 E
cool wind in my hair
G                     
Warm smell of colitas, 
 D
rising up through the air
F                        
Up ahead in the distance, 
   C
I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
E
I had to stop for the night
 
Am
There she stood in the doorway;
E
I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself,
              D
this could be heaven or this could be hell
F                       
Then she lit up a candle 
         C
and she showed me the way
Dm
There were voices down the corridor,
E
I thought I heard them say...


 
F             
Welcome to the 
           C
hotel California;
       E
such a lovely place,
       Am
such a lovely face
F                
Plenty of room at 
               C
the hotel California,
    Dm           
any time of year, 
         E
you can find it here
 

 
Am                          
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, 
 E
she got the Mercedes Benz
G                                   
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, 
       D
that she calls friends
F                                
How they dance in the courtyard, 
C
sweet summer sweat.
Dm                      
Some dance to remember, 
E
some dance to forget
 
Am
So I called up the captain,
E
please bring me my wine
            G               
He said, we haven t had that 
                   D
spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
F                         
And still those voices are 
              C
calling from far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
E
just to hear them say
 

 
F                        C
Welcome to the hotel California;
       E
such a lovely place,
       Am
such a lovely face
F                      
They re living it up at 
               C
the hotel California
       Dm           
What a nice surprise, 
             E
bring your alibis

 
Am
Mirrors on the ceiling,
E
the pink champagne on ice
             G              
And she said we are all just 
                 D
prisoners here, of our own device
F
And in the master s chambers,
C
they gathered for the feast
Dm
The stab it with their steely knives,
         E
but they just can t kill the beast
 
Am
Last thing I remember, I was
E
running for the door
G
I had to find the passage back,
       D
to the place I was before
F
relax, said the night man,
       C
we are programmed to receive.
Dm
You can checkout any time you like,
E
but you can never leave!
