Bm                                          F#

Her mind is Tiffany twisted ,  she got the Mercedes Benz

A                                                        E

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys ,  that she calls friends

G                                                      D

How they dance in the courtyard ,  sweet summer sweat

Em                                         F#

Some dance to remember ,  some dance to forget

Bm                                        F#

So I called up the captain ,  "Please bring me my wine", He said

A                                                              E

"We haven't had that spirit here since , nineteen sixty-nine"

G                                                          D

And still those voices are calling from far away

Em                                                              F#

Wake you up in the middle of the night ,  just to hear them say:

 G                                              D

"Welcome to the Hotel California

F#                                                                 Bm

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

   G                                                    D

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

 Em                                                                     F#

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

Bm                                 F#

Mirrors on the ceiling ,  the pink champagne on ice, and she said

 A                                                   E

"We are all just prisoners here ,  of our own device"

G                                                 D

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

Em                                                       F#

They stab it with their steely knives , but they just can't kill the beast

Bm                                 F#

Last thing I remember ,  I was running for the door

A                                                 E

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

 G                                            D

"Relax," said the night man ,  "We are programmed to receive

Em                                                          F#

You can check out any time you like ,  but you can never leave"
