BmiOn a dark desert highway, F#/Bbcool wind in my hair
AWarm smell of colitas, E/G#rising up through the air
GUp ahead in the distance, D/F#I saw a shimmering light
EmiMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#I had to stop for the night
BmiThere she stood in the doorway, F#/BbI heard the mission bell
AAnd I was thinking to myself this could be E/G#heaven or this could be hell
GThen she lit up a candle,D/F# and she showed me the way
EmiThere were voices down the corridor, F#I thought I heard them say:

GPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliforDnia
Any Emitime of year... any time of year... you can F#find it here
BmiHer mind is Tiffany twisted, F#/Bbshe got the Mercedes bends, uh!
AShe's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys E/G#that she calls friends
GHow they dance in the courtyard, D/F#sweet summer sweat
EmiSome dance to remember, F#some dance to forget
BmiSo I called up the captain, F#/Bb"Please bring me my wine," he said
A"We haven't had that spirit here since E/G#nineteen sixty-nine"
GAnd still those voices are calling from D/F#far away
EmiWake you up in the middle of the night, F#just to hear them say
WelcomeG, D to the Hotel California

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said,
A"We are all just prisoners here, E/G#of our own device"
GAnd in the master's chambers, D/F#they gathered for the feast
EmiThey stab it with their steely knives, but they F#just can't kill the beast
BmiLast thing I remember, F#/BbI was running for the door
AI had to find the passage back to the E/G#place I was before
G"Relax" said the nightman, "We are D/F#programmed to receive"
Emi"You can check out anytime you like, F#but you can never leave"
