Lyrics and Music by Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Don Felder


Intro: Bbm | F7 | G# | D#7
       F# | C# | D#m7 | F7
       Bbm | F7 | G#
       D#7 | F# | C# | D#m7 | F7

Bbm                       F7
On a dark desert highway,
                      G#
Cool wind in my hair,
                      D#7
Warm smell of colitas
                           F#
Rising up through the air.
                          C#
Up ahead in the distance,
                          D#m7
I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy
                       F7
And my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.

Bbm                             F7
There she stood in the doorway;
                          G#
I heard the mission bell.

And I was thinking to myself:
              D#7
This could be heaven
                       F#
Or this could be hell.
                          C#
Then she lit up a candle,
                           D#m7
And she showed me the way.
                                     F7
There were voices down the corridor;
I thought I heard them say:

Chorus:
   F#                          C#
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            F7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Bbm    G#   C# D#m7
     Such a lovely face.
     F#                              C#
     Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
         D#m
     Any time of year
     (Any time of year)
             F7
     You can find it here.”

Bbm                          F7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
                                  G#
She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh.)
                                      D#7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
                        F#
That she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard;
C#                  D#m7
Sweet summer sweat.
                        F7
Some dance to remember;

Some dance to forget.

Bbm                         F7
So I called up the captain:
“Please, bring me my wine.”
        G#
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
     D#7                    F#
Since nineteen sixty nine”.
And still those voices are calling from
C#        D#m7
Far away;
                                       F7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say, hey:

Chorus:
   F#                          C#
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            F7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Bbm    G#   C# D#m7
     Such a lovely face.
             F#
     They’re living it up
                      C#
     At the Hotel California.
            D#m
     What a nice surprise
     (What a nice surprise).
                F7
     Bring your alibis.”

Bbm                     F7
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice,
              G#
And she said,
                                D#7
“We are all just prisoners here
                    F#
Of our own device.”
                              C#
And in the master’s chambers,
                             D#m7
They gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
         F7
But they just can’t kill the beast.

Bbm
Last thing I remember
     F7                     G#
I was running for the door.

I had to find the passage back
       D#7                 F#
To the place I was before.
“Relax,” said the nightman,
       C#                      D#m7
“We are programmed to receive.
                                    F7
You can check out any time you like
                  F5  E5 F5
But you can never leave.”
