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 this could be- D 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 Chorus: F C Welcome to the Hotel California E Such a lovely place Am Such a lovely face F C Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-fornia Dm E Any time of year - You can find it here. Am Her mind is Tiffany twisted E She got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huh G She got alot of pretty, pretty boys D That she calls friends F How they dance in the court yard C Swee--eet 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 - he said G We haven-t had that spirit here since D Nineteen sixty nine F And still those voices are calling from C Faa--aar awaa--aay Dm Wake you up in the middle of the night E Just to hear them say Chorus: F C Welcome to the Hotel California E Such a lovely place Am Such a lovely face F C They-re livin- it up at the Hotel Cali-fornia Dm What a nice surprise E Bring your alibis Am Mirrors on the ceiling E Pink champagne on ice - and she said G We are all just prisoners here D Of our own device F And in the masters chambers C They gathered for their feast Dm They stab it with their steely knives - but they E 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, to the D place I was before F Relax said the night man we are C Programmed to receive Dm You can check out any time you like E But you can never leave
