1. On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 
  A                      E 
   Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air 
  G                         D 
   Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
  Emi                                       F# 
   My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night 
 
  Hmi                             F# 
2. There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell 
  A                                            E 
   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 
  Emi                                  F# 
   There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say. 
 
      G                         D

       Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face 
       G                               D 
       Plenty of room at the Hotel California, 
           Emi                                      F# 
       Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here

3. Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz 
  A                                     E 
   She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends 
  G                                 D 
   How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat, 
  Emi                     F# 
   Some dance to remember, some dance to forget 
 
  Hmi                         F# 
4. So I called up the captain, Please bring me my wine, He said 
  A                                     E 
   We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixtynine 
  G                                        D 
   And still those voices are calling from far away 
  Emi                                     F# 
   Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say 
 
      G                         D

       Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face 
            G                             D 
       They livin' it up at the Hotel California 
              Emi                                              F# 
       What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis 
 
  Hmi                     F# 
5. Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, (and she said) 
  A                               E 
   We are all just prisoners here, of our own device 
  G                             D 
   And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast 
  Emi                                             F# 
   They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast 
 
  Hmi                          F# 
6. Last thing I remember, I was running for the door 
  A                                     E 
   I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 
  G                                  D 
   Relax, said the night man, "We are programmed to receive 
  Emi                                  F# 
   You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
