HOTEL CALIFORNIA

On a [Bm] dark dessert highway, [Fis] cool wind in my hair,
Warm [A] smell of colitas, [E] rising up through the air,
[G] Up ahead in the distance, I [D] saw a shimmering light,
My [Em] head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had [Fis] to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell,
And I thought to myself this could be heaven and 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 could hear them say

[G] Welcome to the Hotel [D] California
Such a [Fis] lovely place, such a [Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the hotel [D] California
Any [Em] time of year, you can [Fis] find it hear

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 1969,
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, Just to hear you say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They're living it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice,
And she said: We are all just prisoners here of your 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 before,
Relax, said the night man, we are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it hear
