Am
E7
On a dark desert
highway, cool wind in my hair
G
D
Warm smell of
colitas rising up through the air
F
C
Up ahead in the
distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy
and my sight grew dim
E
I had to stop for the night
Am E7
There she stood in
the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking
to myself
D
This could be heaven or this could be hell
F
C
Then she lit up a
candle, 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.
E7 Am
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely
face
F C
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm E
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here
[Verse]
Am
E7
Her mind is
Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
G D
She got a lot of
pretty pretty boys she calls friends
F C
How they danced in
the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm
E
Some dance to
remember, some dance to forget
Am
E7
So I called up the
captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
G D
We haven't had that
spirit here since 1969
F C
and still those
voices are calling from far away
Dm
Wake you up in the
middle of the night
E
Just to hear them
say...
[Chorus]
F
C
Welcome to the Hotel
California.
E7 Am
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely
face
F C
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm E
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your
alibis
[Verse]
Am
E7
Mirrors on the
ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G D
We are all just
prisoners here, of our own device
F C
and in the master's
chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with
their steely knives but they
E
just can't kill the beast
Am E7
Last thing I
remember, I was running for the door
G D
I had to find the
passage back to the place I was before
F C
"Relax"
said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out
any time you like
E
But you can never
leave...
