CAPO 2

[Intro]

|Am  |E7 |G   |D   |

|F   |C  |Dm  |E7  |

[Verse]

Am                         E7

  On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

G                      D

  Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

F                          C

  Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

Dm

   My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

E7

  I had to stop for the night

Am                               E7

  There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell

G

  And I was thinking to myself

              D

This could be heaven or this could be hell

F                          C

  Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way

Dm

   There were voices down the corridor,

E7

  I thought I heard them say

[Chorus]

F                          C

  Welcome to the Hotel California.

       E7                                         Am

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

F                               C

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

    Dm                                       E7

Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here

[Verse]

Am                            E7

 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

G                                    D

 She got a lot of pretty pretty boys   she calls friends

F                                   C

  How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Dm                       E7

  Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Am                           E7

  So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)

G                                     D

 We haven't had that spirit here since 1969

F                                         C

  and still those voices are calling from far away

Dm

   Wake you up in the middle of the night

E7

  Just to hear them say

[Chorus]

F                         C

 Welcome to the Hotel California.

       E7                                         Am

Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face

        F                             C

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

       Dm                                              E7

What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis

[Verse]

Am                        E7

   Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)

G                                D

  We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

F                              C

  and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast

Dm

 They stab it with their steely knives but they

E7

just can't kill the beast

Am                             E7

   Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

G                                       D

  I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

F                                   C

  "Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive

Dm

  You can check out any time you like

E7

 But you can never leave

[Outro]

|Am  |E7 |G   |D   |

|F   |C  |Dm  |E7  |

(repeat)
