BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
AxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
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
BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
AxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
REFRAIN
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
Welcome to the Hotel California
xxF#xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBm7
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
COUPLET
BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
AxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em
Some dance to remember,
F#
some dance to forget
BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
So I called up the captain, please bring me my wine
AxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
And still those voices are calling from far away
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
REFRAIN
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
Welcome to the Hotel California
xxEmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBm7
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis
COUPLET
BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
xxxxxAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
BmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
AxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxE
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
GxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
Relax said the nightman We are programmed to receive
EmxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxF#
You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave
