|Bm |F#7 |Asus2 |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 |Asus2 |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 | On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair |Asus2 |E9 | Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air |G |D | Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light |Em |F#7 | My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night |Bm |F#7 | There she stood in the doorway, heard the mission bell |Asus2 |E9 | And I was thinking to myself, ”This could be heaven or this could be hell" |G |D | Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way |Em |F#7 | There were voices down the corridor, thought I heard them say |G |D | Welcome to the Hotel California |F#7 |Bm | Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face |G |D | There's plenty of room at the Hotel California |Em |F#7 | Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here |Bm |F#7 | Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz, uh |Asus2 |E9 | She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends |G |D | How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |Em |F#7 | Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |Bm |F#7 | So I called up the Captain, ”Please, bring me my wine" |Asus2 |E9 | He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969" |G |D | And still those voices are calling from far away |Em |F#7 | Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say |G |D | Welcome to the Hotel California |F#7 |Bm | Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face |G |D | They're living it up at the Hotel California |Em |F#7 | What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis |Bm |F#7 | Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice |Asus2 |E9 | And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device" |G |D | And in the master's chambers, gathered for the feast |Em |F#7 | Stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast |Bm |F#7 | Last thing I remember, I was running for the door |Asus2 |E9 | I had to find the passage back, to the place I was before |G |D | "Relax," said the night man, ”We are programmed to receive" |Em |F#7 | "You can check out any time you like”, "But you can never leave" |Bm |F#7 |A |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 |A |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 |A |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 |A |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |F#7 |A |E9 | |G |D |Em |F#7 | |Bm |
