          On a dark desert highway  -  cool wind in my hair
        A2                                 E
          Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
        G                                       D 
          Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
        Em                                                                     F#                                 F#7
          My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim - I had to stop for the night

          There she stood in the doorway - I heard the mission bell
          And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell
          Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
          There were voices down the corridor - I thought I heard them say

                         G                                            D       add4
                           Welcome to the Hotel California
                                      F#              F#7        Bm     (C#)(D)(E)
                           Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
                         G                                                     D       add4
                           Plenty of room at the Hotel California
                                  Em                               F#               F#7
                           Any time of year, you can find it here

          Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
          She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
          How they dance in the courtyard - sweet summer sweat
          Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

          So I called up the Captain - "Please bring me my wine"
          He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
          And still those voices are calling from far away
          Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

                           Welcome to the Hotel California
                           Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
                           They livin' it up at the Hotel California
                           What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

          Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
          And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
          And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
          They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

          Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
          I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
          "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
          You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"...
                                         *Outro*   (verse, repeat & fade)
