Bm                        F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

A                     E
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air

G                         D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

F#
I had to stop for the night


Bm                               F#
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell

A                                          E
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell

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

Em                                   F#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say

Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
They livin' it up at the Hotel California 

        Em                                      
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis


Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget


So I called up the captain;  "Please bring me my wine."
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say


CHORUS (with ending 2)

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely 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 nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
