 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

VERSE:
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                                     
And I was thinking to myself 
              E
This could be heaven or this could be hell
G                         D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em
There were voices down the corridor, 
F#
I thought I heard them say...

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say?

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

 
 Chorus :
 
 G                        D
 Welcome to the Hotel California.
        Em                   Bm7
 Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
 G                               D
 Plenty of room at the Hotel California
 Em                                      F#
 Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

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                                           D
Then I was thinking to myself 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


F                        C
Welcome to the Hotel California

E7
Such a lovely place

E7

Am                           E7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz

G                                    D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends

F                                C
How they dance 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"

G                                               D
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

F                                       C
And still those voices are calling from far away

Dm                                     E7
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice

G                                             D
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"

F                            C
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast

Dm                                              E7
They stab it with their steely knives but they 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                                   E7
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

       E7                                      Am        E7 Am
Such a lovely place - Such a lovely place - Such a lovely face 
F                                  C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California 
       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 
              G                               D7
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" 
F
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast 
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast
 
Am                           E7
Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door 
G                                 D7
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                                   E7
You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! "

G      Em

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Am                              Am
       In a Manner of speaking 
                     Am/G
I just want to say
                    Am/G                 F
That I could never forget the way
                      Dm
You told me everything
                  E7/G#
By saying nothing

Am                              Am
        In a manner of speaking
                  Am/G
I don't understand
                  Am/G                           F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                    E7/G#
That tell me nothing
Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

best with Low G

In A Manner Of Speaking

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you


[Verse 2]
C         Em                       Am             F
You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
