Intro: Fm | C7 | D#sus2 | Bb7
       C# | G# | Bbm7 | C7
       Fm | C7 | D#add9
       Bb7 | C# | G# | Bbm7 | C7

Fm                        C7
On a dark desert highway,
                      D#add9
Cool wind in my hair,
                      Bb7
Warm smell of colitas
                           C#
Rising up through the air.
                          G#
Up ahead in the distance,
                          Bbm7
I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy
                       C7
And my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.

Fm                              C7
There she stood in the doorway;
                          D#add9
I heard the mission bell.
                          
And I was thinking to myself:
              Bb7
This could be heaven
                       C#
Or this could be hell.
                          G#
Then she lit up a candle,
                           Bbm7
And she showed me the way.
                                     C7
There were voices down the corridor;
I thought I heard them say:

Chorus:
   C#                          G#
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            C7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Fm     D#   G# Bbm7sus2         
     Such a lovely face.
     C#                              G#
     Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
         Bbm
     Any time of year
     (Any time of year)
             C7
     You can find it here.”

Fm                           C7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
                                  D#add9
She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh.)
                                      Bb7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
                        C#
That she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard;
G#                  Bbm7
Sweet summer sweat.
                        C7
Some dance to remember;
              C7sus4  C7
Some dance to forget.

Fm                          C7
So I called up the captain:
“Please, bring me my wine.”
        D#add9                       
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
     Bb7                    C#
Since nineteen sixty nine”.
And still those voices are calling from
G#        Bbm7
Far away;
                                       C7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say, hey:

Chorus:
   C#                          G#
     “Welcome to the Hotel California,
            C7
     Such a lovely place
     (Such a lovely place),
            Fm     D#   G# Bbm7sus2
     Such a lovely face.
             C#
     They’re living it up
                      G#
     At the Hotel California.
            Bbm
     What a nice surprise
     (What a nice surprise).
                C7
     Bring your alibis.”

Fm                      C7
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice,
              D#add9
And she said,
                                Bb7
“We are all just prisoners here
                    C#
Of our own device.”
                              G#
And in the master’s chambers,
                             Bbm7
They gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
         C7
But they just can’t kill the beast.

Fm
Last thing I remember
     C7                     D#add9
I was running for the door.
                         
I had to find the passage back
       Bb7                 C#
To the place I was before.
“Relax,” said the nightman,
       G#                      Bbm7
“We are programmed to receive.
                                    C7
You can check out any time you like
                  C5  B5 C5
But you can never leave.”
