(Intro) Em B D A C G Am B
Em B D A C G Am B
Em
On a dark desert highway
B
cool wind in my hair..
D
Warm smell of colitas
A
rising up through the air..
C
Up ahead in the distance
G
I saw a shimmering light
Am
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
B
I had to stop for the night..
Em
There she stood in the doorway
B
I heard the mission bell
D
And I was thinking to myself
A
this could be heaven
or this could be hell..
C
Then she lit up a candle
G
and she showed me the way..
Am
There were voices down the corridor
B
I thought I heard them say..
(Chorus)
C G
Welcome to the hotel California..
B
such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Em F#m G Am-Bm
such a lovely face
C G
Plenty of room at the hotel California
Am
any time of year (any time of year)
B
you can find it here
Em
Her mind is tiffany-twisted
B
she got the Mercedes bends
D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
A
that she calls friends..
C
How they dance in the courtyard
G
sweet summer sweat..
Am
Some dance to remember
B
some dance to forget..
Em
So I called up the captain
B
please bring me my wine
D
He said, we haven't
had that spirit here since
A
nineteen sixty nine
C
And still those voices are calling
G
from far away..
Am
Wake you up in the middle of the night
B
just to hear them say..
(Chorus)
C G
Welcome to the hotel California..
B
such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Em F#m G Am-Bm
such a lovely face
C
They're living it up
G
at the hotel California..
Am
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
B
bring your alibis..
Em
Mirrors on the ceiling
B
the pink champagne on ice.. and she said
D
we are all just prisoners here
A
of our own device
C
And in the master s chambers
G
they gathered for the feast
Am
The stab it with their steely knives,
B
but they just can't kill the beast..
Em
Last thing I remember
B
(I was) running for the door
D
I had to find the passage back
A
to the place I was before..
C
relax, said the night man
G
we are programmed to receive
Am
You can checkout any time you like
B
but you can never leave..
