Intro: Em | B7 | Dsus2 | A7
       C | G | Am7 | B7
       Em | B7 | Dadd9
       A7 | C | G | Am7 | B7

Em                        B7
On a dark desert highway,
                      Dadd9
Cool wind in my hair,
                      A7
Warm smell of colitas
                           C
Rising up through the air.
                          G
Up ahead in the distance,
                          Am7
I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy
                       B7
And my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.

Em                              B7
There she stood in the doorway;
                          Dadd9
I heard the mission bell.
                          
And I was thinking to myself:
              A7
This could be heaven
                       C
Or this could be hell.
                          G
Then she lit up a candle,
                           Am7
And she showed me the way.
                                     B7
There were voices down the corridor;
I thought I heard them say:

Chorus:
   C                           G
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            B7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Em     D    G Am7sus2           
     Such a lovely face.
     C                               G
     Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
         Am
     Any time of year
     (Any time of year)
             B7
     You can find it here.”

Em                           B7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
                                  Dadd9
She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh.)
                                      A7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
                        C
That she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard;
G                   Am7
Sweet summer sweat.
                        B7
Some dance to remember;
              B7sus4  B7
Some dance to forget.

Em                          B7
So I called up the captain:
“Please, bring me my wine.”
        Dadd9                        
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
     A7                     C
Since nineteen sixty nine”.
And still those voices are calling from
G         Am7
Far away;
                                       B7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say, hey:

Chorus:
   C                           G
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            B7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Em     D    G Am7sus2
     Such a lovely face.
             C
     They’re living it up
                      G
     At the Hotel California.
            Am
     What a nice surprise
     (What a nice surprise).
                B7
     Bring your alibis.”

Em                      B7
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice,
              Dadd9
And she said,
                                A7
“We are all just prisoners here
                    C
Of our own device.”
                              G
And in the master’s chambers,
                             Am7
They gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
         B7
But they just can’t kill the beast.

Em
Last thing I remember
     B7                     Dadd9
I was running for the door.
                         
I had to find the passage back
       A7                  C
To the place I was before.
“Relax,” said the nightman,
       G                       Am7
“We are programmed to receive.
                                    B7
You can check out any time you like
                  B5  Bb5 B5
But you can never leave.”
