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

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

(riff 1)

F                         C
Welcome to the Hotel California
Dm                                             Am
Such a lovely place (sucha lovely place) such a lovely face
F                                C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm                                            ( E  E/G# )
Any time of year (any time of the year) you can find it here

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

Am                          ( E  E/G# )
So I called up the captain;   "Please bring me my wine." He said:
G                                  D/F#
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
F                                       C
And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm                                    ( E  E/G# )                  (riff 1)
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

F                          C
Welcome to the Hotel California
       Dm                                         Am                 (riff 2)
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a lovely face
F                                   C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm                                                 ( E  E/G# )
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) give your alibis

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

Am                     ( E  E/G# )
Last thing I remember,   I was running for the door
G                                     D/F#
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F                               C
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are  programmed to receive"
Dm                                   ( E  E/G# )
"You can check out anytime you like,   but you can never leave"

(solo) Am  ( E  E/G# )  G  D/F#  F  C  Dm  ( E  E/G# )
