INTRO strumming and picking 
Em  B7 Dsus2   A9   C  G  Am7   B7

Em                             
On a dark desert highway,
B7
Cool wind in my hair
 Dsus2                                                            
Warm smell of colitas
A9
Rising up through the air
C                                             
Up ahead in the distance,
G
I saw a shimmering light
 Am7                                      
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
B7
I had to stop for the night
Em                             
There she stood in the doorway;
B7
I heard the mission bell
 Dsus2                                    
And I was thinking to myself
A9
This could be heaven or this could be hell
C                                             
Then she lit up a candle,
G
And she showed me the way
Am7                                                   
There were voices down the corridor;
B7
I thought I heard them say…
 
 
C                          G
Welcome to the Hotel California
B7       
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Em
Such a lovely face
C                                G
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Am7   
Any time of year (Any time of year)
B7
You can find it here

 
Em                             
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
B7
She got the Mercedes bends
Dsus2                                           
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
A9      
She calls friends
C                                                   
How they dance in the courtyard,
G
Sweet summer sweat
Am7
Some dance to remember,
B7
Some dance to forget
Em      
So I called up the Captain,
B7
"Please bring me my wine"
Dsus2                                                                 
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here
A9
Since nineteen sixty nine"
C                                                             
And still those voices
G
Are calling from far away,
Am7   
Wake you up in the middle of the night
B7
Just to hear them say...
 

C                         G
Welcome to the Hotel California
B7
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Em
Such a lovely face
C                                 G
They living' it up at the Hotel California
Am7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
B7
Bring your alibis

 
Em   
Mirrors on the ceiling,
B7  
The pink champagne on ice 
Dsus2
And she said "We are all just prisoners here,
A9   
Of our own device"
C   
And in the master's chambers,
G
They gathered for the feast
Am7   
They stab it with their steely knives,
B7
But they just can't kill the beast
 
 
Em
Last thing I remember, I was
B7
Running for the door
Dsus2  
I had to find the passage back
A9  
To the place I was before
C
"Relax,” said the night man,
G
"We are programmed to receive.
Am7
You can check-out any time you like,
B7
But you can never leave! "
