[Intro] (D#m D#m Bb Bb - C# C# G# G# - B B F# F# - G#m G#m Bb7 Bb7

On a dark desert highway - Cool wind in my hair         x2)

Warm smell of colitas    - Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance - I saw a shimmering light ══════╗

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim     ║    Hotel   ║

I had to stop for the night                  ║ California ║

There she stood in the doorway - I heard the mission bell ╝

And I was thinking to myself                     ╔════════╗

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell       ║ Eagles ║

Then she lit up a candle - And she showed me the way ═════╝

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

[Chorus] B B F# F# - Bb7 Bb7 D#m D#m - B B F# F# - G#m G#m Bb7 Bb7

Welcome to the Hotel California - … - Such a lovely (place/

(Plenty of room at the Hotel California) - …          face)

(Any time of year (x2) - You can find it here)       (x2~1)

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted - She got the Mercedes-Benz, uh

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 nineteen sixty nine

And still those voices are calling     - From far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night - Just to hear them

                                                        say

   [Chorus] (They livin' it up at the Hotel California)

            (What a nice surprise (x2) - Bring your alibis)

Mirrors on

    the ceiling - The pink champagne on ice, and she said

We are all just prisoners here - Of our 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 I was before

Relax, said the night man - We are programmed to receive

You can checkout any time you like

But you can never leave                        [Intro] (x5)
