Intro
Verse
AmOn a dark desert highway
E7Cool wind in my hair
GWarm smell of colitas
DRising up through the air
FUp ahead in the distance
CI saw a shimmering light
DmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7I had to stop for the night
AmThere she stood in the doorway
E7I heard the mission bell
GAnd I was thinking to myself
"This could be DHeaven or this could be Hell"
FThen she lit up a candle
CAnd she showed me the way
DmThere were voices down the corridor
E7I thought I heard them say
Chorus
FWelcome to the Hotel CCalifornia
Such a E7lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a Amlovely face
FPlenty of room at the Hotel CCalifornia
Any Dmtime of year (any time of year)
You can E7find it here
Verse
AmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted
E7She got the Mercedes Benz
GShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That Dshe calls friends
FHow they dance in the courtyard
CSweet summer sweat
DmSome dance to remember
E7Some dance to forget
AmSo I called up the Captain
E7"Please bring me my wine"
He said, G'We haven't had that spirit here since D1969"
FAnd still those voices are calling from Cfar away
DmWake you up in the middle of the night
E7Just to hear them say
Chorus
FWelcome to the Hotel CCalifornia
Such a E7lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a Amlovely face
They Flivin' it up at the Hotel CCalifornia
What a Dmnice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your E7alibis
Verse
AmMirrors on the ceiling
E7The pink champagne on ice
And she said, G'We are all just prisoners here
DOf our own device"
FAnd in the master's chambers
CThey gathered for the feast
DmThey stab it with their steely knives
But they E7just can't kill the beast
AmLast thing I remember, I was
E7Running for the door
GI had to find the passage back
To the Dplace I was before
F"Relax," said the night man
"We are Cprogrammed to receive
DmYou can check out any time you like
E7But you can never leave"
