[Verse 1]
Am E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair,
Gsus2 D9
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air.
F C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
Dm7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
E7
I had to stop for the night.
[Verse 2]
Am E7
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell.
G Gsus2 G13sus4/E D9
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.
Dm7
There were voices down the corridor,
E7
I thought I heard them say:
[Chorus 1]
F C
"Welcome to the Hotel California,
E7
Such a lovely place!" (Such a lovely place),
Am
Such a lovely face,
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California,
Dm
Any time of year (Any time of year),
E7
You can find it here.
[Verse 3]
Am E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends.
Gsus2 D9
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends,
F C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Dm7 E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
[Verse 4]
Am E7
So I called up the Captain,"Please bring me my wine".
Gsus2 D9
He said that , "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine".
F C
An' still those voices are calling from far away,
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
E7
Just to hear them say:
[Chorus 2]
F C
"Welcome to the Hotel California,
E7
Such a lovely place!" (Such a lovely place),
Am G/B Am G/D
Such a lovely face.
F C
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California,
Dm
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise),
E7
Bring your alibis.
[Verse 5]
Am E7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice.
Gsus2 D9
"Ah" 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.
Dm7
They stab it with their steely knives,
E7
But they just can't kill the beast.
[Verse 6]
Am E7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door.
Gadd9 D9
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,
E7
But you can never leave!"
