Capo: 2nd fret
(Verse 1 – 1:11)
Am
On a dark desert highway
E7
Cool wind in my hair
G
Warm smell of colitas
D
Rising up through the air
F
Up ahead in the distance
C
I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy
and my sight grew dim
E
I had to stop for the night
Am
There she stood in the doorway;
E7
I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself
D
This could be heaven or this could be hell
F
Then she lit up a candle
C
And she showed me the way
Dm
There were voices down the corridor,
E
I thought I heard them say…
(Chorus 1 – 3:28)
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
There’s plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm
Any time of year, (any time of year)
E
You can find it here
(Verse 2 – 1:11)
Am
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
E7
She got the Mercedes bends
G
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
D
She calls friends
F
How they danced in the courtyard
C
Sweet summer sweat
Dm
Some dance to remember
E
Some dance to forget
Am
So I called up the captain
E7
Please bring me my wine (he said)
G D
We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969
F
and still those voices are calling from
C
far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E
Just to hear them say…
(Chorus 2 – 3:28)
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California
Dm
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise)
E
Bring your alibis
(Verse 3 – 1:11)
Am
Mirrors on the ceiling
E7
The pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G
We are all just prisoners here
D
Of our own device
F
and in the master’s chambers
C
They gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E
Just can’t kill the beast
Am
Last thing I remember
E7
I was running for the door
G
I had to find the passage back to the
D
Place I was before
F
“Relax” said the night man
C
We are programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out any time you like
E
But you can never leave…
