[D] [Em]
[G] [F#] [Bm]
On a dark desert [F#] highway, cool wind in my hair, [A]
warm smell of [E] polydust [Bm] rising up through
[G] the air.
Up ahead in the [D] distance, I saw a shimmering light.
[Em]
My head grew heavy [Bm] and my
sight grew [F#] dim.
I had to stop for the [Bm] night.
There she stood in the doorway.
[F#] I heard the
mission bell.
[A]
I was thinking to [E] myself, this could be heaven and this could be [G] hell.
Then
she lit up a candle [D] and she showed me the way.
[Em]
There were voices down the [F#] corridor.
I thought I heard them [G] say, welcome to the [D] Hotel California.
[D] [F#]
Such a lovely place, [B] [Bm] [G]
[D]
[G] such
a time [F#] of year.
You can find it here.
[Bm]
A mind is differently twisted.
[F#] She got the Mercedes
[A] Benz.
She got a lot of pretty, [E] pretty boys [G#] that she calls [G] friends.
How they dance in
the courtyard.
[D] Sweet summer sweat.
[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#] some dance [F#] to [Bm] forget.
So I called
up the [F#] captain.
Please bring me my [A] wine.
He said, we haven't had that spirit [G#m] here since
[E] 1969.
[G]
And still those voices [D] are calling from far [Em] away.
Wake you up in the middle [F#] of the
night.
Just to hear them [G] say, welcome to the [D] Hotel California.
[F#] Such a lovely place, [Bm] such
a lovely face.
[G] They're living it up at the [D] Hotel California.
[Em] What a nice [F#] surprise.
[Bm]
What
a nice feeling.
[F#] The pink champagne on [A] ice.
And she said, we are all just [E] prisoners here
[Bm] of our own [G] device.
And in the master's [D] chambers, they're gathered for the [Em] feast.
They stab
it [Bm] with their [F#] stealing eyes, but they just can't kill the [Bm] beast.
Last thing I [F#] remember,
I was running for the door.
[A]
I had to find the [E] passage back to the place [Bm] I was before.
[G]
Relax said the night [D] man.
This is your program to receive.

like.
But you can never [D] leave.
