Am  Am  B7  B7

Em               Em       B7              B7

On a dark desert highway  Cool wind in my hair

D               D      A                     A

Warm smell of colitas  Rising up through the air

C               C         G                  G

Up ahead in the distance  I saw a shimmering light

Am                         Am

My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim

B7                    B7

I had to stop for the night

Em                     Em       B7                  B7

There she stood in the doorway  I heard the mission bell

D                       D                   A                       A

And I was thinking to myself  This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

C                 C       G                     G

Then she lit up a candle  And she showed me the way

Am                         Am        B7                     B7

There were voices down the corridor  I thought I heard them say

C              C            G

Welcome to the Hotel California

G      B7            B7     Em         Em

Such a lovely place  Such a lovely face

C                     C            G

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

G   Am           Am      B7

Any time of year You can find it here

Em                  Em       B7                     B7

Her mind is Tiffany twisted  She's got the Mercedes Benz

D                          D            A                     A

She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys  That she calls friends

C                     C          G            G

How they dance in the courtyard  Sweet summer sweet

Am              Am      B7               B7

Some dance to remember  Some dance to forget

Em                 Em       B7                 B7

So I called up the Captain  Please bring me my wine

D                           D                 A  A

He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

C                          C       G        G

And still those voices are calling from far away

Am                 Am                   B7                B7

Wake you up in the middle of the night  Just to hear them say

C              C            G

Welcome to the Hotel California

Em             Em       B7                    B7

Mirrors on the ceiling  the pink champagne on ice

D                            D              A          A

And she said We are all just prisoners here of our own device

C                   C        G                     G

And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast

Am                      Am                      B7                  B7

They stab it with their steely knives  But they just can't kill the beast

Em             Em     B7                    B7

Last thing I remember I was running for the door

D                 D               A               A

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

C                       C      G            G

Relax said the nightman We are programed to recieve
