Capo 2
Intro
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 x2
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
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...

No one knew me, no one knew me

Look right through me, look right through me
