[Em] [F#]
[Bm] On a dark desert [E] highway, [F#] cool wind in my hair, [A] one smell of kaleidos [E] rising up through the air.
[G] Up ahead in the [D] distance, I saw a shimmering light.
[Em] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim.
[F#] I had to stop for the night.
[Bm] There she stood in the doorway, [F#] I heard the mission bell.
[A] I was thinking to myself, this [E] could be heaven and this could be hell.
[G] Then she lit up a candle, [D] she showed me the way.
[Em] There were voices down the corridor, [F#] I thought I heard them say,
[G] Welcome to the [D] Hotel California.
[F#] Such a lovely place, such a lovely [B] [F#m] face.
[D]
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel [D] California.
[Em] Any time of year, [F#] you can find it here.
[Bm] The man is definitely twisted, [F#] she got the Mercedes Benz.
[A] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [E] she calls friends.
[G] Have a dance in the courtyard, [D] sweet summer sweat.
[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#] some dance to forget.
[Bm] So I called up the captain, [F#] please bring me my wine.
He [A] said, we haven't had that spirit here [E] since 1969.
[G] And still those voices are calling [D] from far away.
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#] just to hear them say,
[G] Welcome to the [D] Hotel California.
[F#] Such a lovely place, such a lovely [B] [C#] face.
[D]
[G] Living it up at the Hotel [D] California.
[Em] What a nice surprise, [F#] when you're out of place.
[Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#] the pink champagne on ice.
And she [A] said, we are all just prisoners here, [E] of our own device.
[G] And in the master's [D] chambers, they gathered for the feast.
[Em] They stab it with their steely knives, but [F#] they just can't kill the beast.
[Bm] Last thing I remember, [F#] I was running for the door.
[A] I had to find the passage back [E] to the place I was before.
[G] Relax, said the knight man, we [D] are programmed to receive.
[Em] You can check out any time you like, [F#] but you can never [Bm] leave.
