[D] On [Em]
[F#] [Bm] a dark desert highway, [F#] cool wind in my hair, [A] warm smell of polyethyl, [E] [Bm] rising up through the air.
[G] Up ahead in [D] the distance, I saw a shimmering light.
[Em] My head grew heavy and my sight grew [F#] dim.
I had to stop for the night, [Bm] but there she stood in the doorway, [F#] looking at me.
I heard the mission bell, [A] and I was thinking to myself, [E] this could be heaven, or this could be [G] hell.
Then she lit up a candle, [D] and she showed me the way.

Wake you up in the middle of the [F#] night, just to hear them say,
[G] Welcome to the Hotel [D] California.
[F#] Such a lovely place, such a lovely [Bm] place, such a lovely [D] place.
[G] They're living it up at the Hotel [D] California.

[Bm] mirrors on the ceiling, [F#] the pink champagne on ice.
[A] She said, we are all just prisoners [E] here of [Bm] our own device.
[G] And in the master's chambers, [D] they're gathered for the feast.
[E] They [Em] stab it with their stealing [F#] eyes, but they just can't kill the beast.
[Bm] Last thing I remember, [F#] I was running for the door.
[A] I had to find a passage [E] back to the place I was before.
