Hm                       F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair,
Asus2                E9
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.
G                        D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
Em7                                      F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell.

An- I was thinkin- to myself: this could be heaven or this could be hell.
Then she lit up a candle, an- she showed me the way.
There were voices down the corridor; I thought I heard them say:

Chorus:
   G                           D
     "Welcome to the Hotel California,
            F#7                                        Hm     A/C#  Hm/A
     Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a lovely face.
 A/E G                               D
     Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
         Em                                       F#7
     Any time of year, (any time of year) you can find it here".

Her mind is Tiffany twisted. She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh)
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard; sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember; some dance to forget.

So I called up the captain: "Please bring me my wine".
He said, "We haven-t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine".
An- still those voices are calling from far away;
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say:

Chorus:
     "Welcome to the Hotel California,
     Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a lovely face.
     They-re livin- it up at the Hotel California.
     What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise). Bring your alibis".

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice,
An- she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device".
An- in the master-s chambers, they gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can-t kill the beast.

Last thing I remember I was running for the door.
I had to find the passage back to place I was before.
"Relax", said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave".
