Chorus: G D Welcome to the hotel California; F#7 such a lovely place, Bm such a lovely face G D Plenty of room at the hotel California, Em7 F#7 any time of year, you can find it here Verse 2: Bm F#7 Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz A E7 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends G D How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Em7 F#7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Bm So I called up the captain, F#7 please bring me my wine A E7 He said, we haven t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine G D And still those voices are calling from far away Em7 Wake you up in the middle of the night, F#7 just to hear them say Chorus: G D Welcome to the hotel California; F#7 such a lovely place, Bm such a lovely face G D They re living it up at the hotel California Em7 F#7 What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Verse 3: Bm Mirrors on the ceiling, F#7 the pink champagne on ice A E7 And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device G And in the master s chambers, D they gathered for the feast Em7 The stab it with their steely knives, F#7 but they just can't kill the beast Bm Last thing I remember, I was F#7 running for the door A I had to find the passage back, E7 to the place I was before G relax, said the night man, D we are programmed to receive. Em7 You can checkout any time you like, F#7 but you can never leave!
