Intro: G#m | D#7 | F#sus2 | C#7
       E | B | C#m7 | D#7
       G#m | D#7 | F#add9
       C#7 | E | B | C#m7 | D#7

G#m                       D#7
On a dark desert highway,
                      F#add9
Cool wind in my hair,
                      C#7
Warm smell of colitas
                           E
Rising up through the air.
                          B
Up ahead in the distance,
                          C#m7
I saw a shimmering light.
My head grew heavy
                       D#7
And my sight grew dim;
I had to stop for the night.

G#m                             D#7
There she stood in the doorway;
                          F#add9
I heard the mission bell.
                          
And I was thinking to myself:
              C#7
This could be heaven
                       E
Or this could be hell.
                          B
Then she lit up a candle,
                           C#m7
And she showed me the way.
                                     D#7
There were voices down the corridor;
I thought I heard them say:

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

G#m                          D#7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
                                  F#add9
She got the Mercedes bends. (Uh.)
                                      C#7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
                        E
That she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard;
B                   C#m7
Sweet summer sweat.
                        D#7
Some dance to remember;
              D#7sus4 D#7
Some dance to forget.

G#m                         D#7
So I called up the captain:
“Please, bring me my wine.”
        F#add9                       
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
     C#7                    E
Since nineteen sixty nine”.
And still those voices are calling from
B         C#m7
Far away;
                                       D#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say, hey:

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

G#m                     D#7
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice,
              F#add9
And she said,
                                C#7
“We are all just prisoners here
                    E
Of our own device.”
                              B
And in the master’s chambers,
                             C#m7
They gathered for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives,
         D#7
But they just can’t kill the beast.

G#m
Last thing I remember
     D#7                    F#add9
I was running for the door.
                         
I had to find the passage back
       C#7                 E
To the place I was before.
“Relax,” said the nightman,
       B                       C#m7
“We are programmed to receive.
                                    D#7
You can check out any time you like
                  D#5 D5 D#5
But you can never leave.”
