[Verse 1]
Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#
I had to stop for the night
Bm F#
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A E
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
G D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em F#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
[Chorus]
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Em Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
[Verse 2]
Bm F#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz
A E
She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
G D
How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat
Em
Some dance to remember
F#
some dance to forget
Bm F#
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
A E
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
G D
and still those voice are calling from far away
Em
Wake you up in the middle of the night
F#
Just to hear them say
[Chorus]
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Em Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
[Verse 3]
Bm F#
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an she said)
A E
We are all just prisoners here , of our own device
G D
and in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Em
They stab it with their steely knives but they
F#
just can't kill the beast
Bm F#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A E
I had find the passage back to the place I was before
G D
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Em
You can check out anytime you like
F#
But you can never leave...
[Chorus]
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Em Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
