On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself

This could be heaven or this could be hell

There were voices down the corridor,
E
I thought I heard them say…
Chorus:
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.

Such a lovely place, such a lovely face

There’s Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm E
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here…

How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember some dance to forget

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

We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969
