E7   :  020100

[CT #0]
[INTRO] (RIFF)

Bm                          F#7
  On a dark desert highway,   cool wind in my hair
A                       E7
  Warm smell of colitas   rising up through the air
G                           D
  Up ahead in the distance,   I saw a shimmering light
Em                                          
  My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim;    
F#7
  I had to stop for the night.

Bm                                F#7
  There she stood in the doorway;     I heard the mission bell
A                                              E7
  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                                    
  There were voices down the corridor    
F#7
  I thought I heard them say...

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

Bm                            F#7
  Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,   she got the Mercedes Bends
A                                       E7
  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                                      
He said,  "We haven't had that spirit here since   
E7
  nineteen sixty nine"
G                                         D        Dsus  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       Dsus  D
Welcome to the Hotel California... 

       F#7                  Bm       
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face...
     G                              D       Dsus  D
They livin' it up at the Hotel California... 
       Em                        F#7
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis...

Bm                       F#7
  Mirrors on the ceiling,   the pink champagne on ice
              A                               
And she said  "We are all just prisoners here,  
E7
  of our own device"
G                                    
  And in the master's chambers,   
D                            Dsus  D
  they gathered for the feast
Em                                     
  They stab it with their steely knives, 
           F#7
  but they just can't kill the beast

Bm                             F#7
  Last thing I remember, I was   running for the door
A                                   E7
  I had to find the passage back to place I was before
G                                      D
  "Relax" said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
Em                                    
  You can check out any time you like,   
F#7
  but you can never leave".
