Capo 2nd Intro, twice: Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 Am E7 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair G D Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air F C Up ahead in the distance,I saw a shimmering light Dm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim E7 I had to stop for the night Am E7 There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell G D Then I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell F C Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way Dm There were voices down the corridor, E7 I thought I heard them say F C Welcome to the Hotel California E7 Such a lovely place E7 (Such a lovely place) Am Such a lovely face F C Plenty of room at the Hotel California Dm Any time of year Dm (Any time of year) E7 You can find it here Am E7 Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz G D She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends F C How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat Dm E7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Am E7 So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine" G D He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969" F C And still those voices are calling from far away Dm E7 Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say F C Welcome to the Hotel California E7 Such a lovely place E7 (Such a lovely place) Am Such a lovely face F C Plenty of room at the Hotel California Dm Any time of year Dm (Any time of year) E7 You can find it here Am E7 Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice G D And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device" F C And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast Dm E7 They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast Am E7 Last thing I remember, I was running for the door G D I had to find the passage back to the place I was before F C "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive Dm E7 You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
