		  Hm
(1)		On a dark desert highway
		  F#
		Cool wind in my hiar,
		  A
		Warm smell of colitas
		  E
		Rising up through the air.
		  G
		Up ahead on the distance
		  D
		I saw a shimering light
		  Em
		My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim.
		  F#
		I had to stop for the night.
		Then she stood in the doorway:
		I heard a mission bell
		And I was thinking to myself:
		"This could be heaven or this could be hell"
		Then she lit up a candel
		And she showed me the way
		There were voices down the corridor
		I thought I heard them say:

CHORUS:		<  G                        D>
		"Welcome to the Hotel California
		   F#
		Such a lovely place, Such a lovely place,
		         Hm
		Such a lovely face,
		 G                                D
		Planty of rooms at the Hotel California
		     Em
		Any time of year, any time of year
		        F#
		You can find it here!"

(2)		Her mind was teffany - twisted.
		She got the Mercedes - Benz.
		She got a lot of pretty - pretty boys
		She called friends.
		How they dance in the court-yard
		Sweet summer swet.
		Some dance to remember, Some dance to foget.
		So I called up a captane:
		"Please, bring me my wine!" he said:
		"We haven't had the spirit here Since 1969".
		And still those voices are calling from far away.
		Wake you up in the middle of the night
		Just to hear them say:

		"Welcome to the Hotel California
		Such a lovely place,
		Such a lovely place,
		Such a lovely face.
		You're living it up at the Hotel California.
		What a nice surprise, what a nice surprise,
		Bring your alibis".

(3)		Mirrors on the ceiling
		The pink shampein in ice and she said:
		"We are all just prisoners here of our own device".
		And the masters chambers
		They gathered for the feast.
		They stuff it with there stilly knives
		But they just can't kill the beast.
		Last thing I remember: I was
		Running for the door.
		I had to find the passage back
		To the place I was before,
		"Relax",- said the night man,-
		"We are programmed to receive,
		You can check out any time you like
		But you can never leave...."
