Intro: C#m | G#7 | Bsus2 | F#9
       A | E | F#m7 | G#7
       C#m | G#7 | Badd9
       F#9 | A | E | F#m7 | G#7

C#m                       G#7
On a dark desert highway,
                      Badd9
Cool wind in my hair,
                      F#9
Warm smell of colitas
                           A
Rising up through the air.
                          E
Up ahead in the distance,
                          F#m7
I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy
                       G#7
And my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.

C#m                             G#7
There she stood in the doorway;
                          Badd9
I heard the mission bell.
                   Badd9/F#
And I was thinking to myself:
              F#9
This could be heaven
                       A
Or this could be hell.
                          E
Then she lit up a candle,
                           F#m7
And she showed me the way.
                                     G#7
There were voices down the corridor;
I thought I heard them say:

Chorus:
   A                           E
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            G#7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            C#m    B/D# E F#m7sus2 F#m7sus2/G#
     Such a lovely face.
     A                               E
     Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
         F#m
     Any time of year
     (Any time of year)
             G#7
     You can find it here.”

C#m                          G#7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
                                  Badd9
She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh.)
                                      F#9
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
                        A
That she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard;
E                   F#m7
Sweet summer sweat.
                        G#7
Some dance to remember;
              G#7sus4 G#7
Some dance to forget.

C#m                         G#7
So I called up the captain:
“Please, bring me my wine.”
        Badd9                 Badd9/F#
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
     F#9                    A
Since nineteen sixty nine”.
And still those voices are calling from
E         F#m7
Far away;
                                       G#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say, hey:

Chorus:
   A                           E
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            G#7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            C#m    B/D# E F#m7sus2
     Such a lovely face.
 F#m7sus2/G# A
     They’re living it up
                      E
     At the Hotel California.
            F#m
     What a nice surprise
     (What a nice surprise).
                G#7
     Bring your alibis.”

C#m                     G#7
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice,
              Badd9
And she said,
                                F#9
“We are all just prisoners here
                    A
Of our own device.”
                              E
And in the master’s chambers,
                             F#m7
They gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
         G#7
But they just can’t kill the beast.

C#m
Last thing I remember
     G#7                    Badd9
I was running for the door.
                  Badd9/F#
I had to find the passage back
       F#9                 A
To the place I was before.
“Relax,” said the nightman,
       E                       F#m7
“We are programmed to receive.
                                    G#7
You can check out any time you like
                  G#5 G5 G#5
But you can never leave.”
