Hotel California

[Intro]

[Am]  [E7]  [G]  [D7]  [F]  [C]  [Dm]  [E7]  x2


[Verse]

[Am]                        [E7]
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
[G]                     [D7]
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
[F]                         [C]
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
[Dm]                                        [E7]
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for 
the night.

[Am]                              [E7]
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
[G]                                            [D7]
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]                                  [E7]
There were voices down the corridor 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]
Plenty of room at the Hotel California...
    [Dm]                                       [E7]
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]                                     [D7]
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
[F]                                [C]
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
[Dm]                      [E7]
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

[Am]                           [E7]
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
          [G]                                     [D7]
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty
nine"
[F]                                       [C]
And still those voices are calling from far away,
[Dm]                                     [E7]
Wake you up in the middle of the night 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 
   [E7]
face...
[F]                                  [C]
They livin' it up at the Hotel California...
       [Dm]                                               
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) bring your 
[E7]
alibis...


[Verse]

[Am]                      [E7]
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
              [G]                               [D7]
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]                                              [E7]
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't 
kill the beast

[Am]                           [E7]
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
[G]                                 [D7]
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
[F]                                   [C]
"Relax" said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
[Dm]                                   [E7]
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
