[Chorus] C G Welcome to the Hotel California B7 Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Em Such a lovely face C G Plenty of room at the Hotel California Am Any time of year (Any time of year) B7 You can find it here [Verse] Em Her mind is Tiffany-twisted B7 She got the Mercedes bends Dsus2 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys Em6 She calls friends C How they dance in the courtyard G Sweet summer sweat Am Some dance to remember B7 Some dance to forget Em So I called up the Captain B7 "Please bring me my wine" Dsus2 He said, "We haven't had that spirit here Em6 Since nineteen sixty-nine" C And still those voices G Are calling from far away Am Wake you up in the middle of the night B7 Just to hear them say... [Chorus] C G Welcome to the Hotel California B7 Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Em Such a lovely face C G They livin' it up at the Hotel California Am What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) B7 Bring your alibis [Verse] Em Mirrors on the ceiling B7 The pink champagne on ice Dsus2 And she said, "We are all just prisoners here Em6 Of our own device" C And in the master's chambers G They gathered for the feast Am They stab it with their steely knives B7 But they just can't kill the beast Em Last thing I remember, I was B7 Running for the door Dsus2 I had to find the passage back Em6 To the place, I was before C "Relax", said the night man G "We are programmed to receive Am You can check out any time you like B7 But you can never leave!"
