[Intro:] Bm F#7 A E G D Em F#7
Bm F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
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, I heard the mission bell
A E
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, I thought I heard them say:
Refrão:
G D
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#7 Bm C#m D Em
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
G D
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 bends
A E
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that 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."
A E
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
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
We're living it up at the Hotel California
Em F#7
What a nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your alibis
Bm F#4/7 F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice,
A E
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
G D
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em F#7
They 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
A E
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
G D
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
Em F#7
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
(Bm F#7 A E G D Em F#7)
