Verse
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
E
I had to stop for the night
Am                               E7       
There she stood in the doorway;  I heard the mission bell
G                                     
And I was thinking to myself 
              D
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, 
E
I thought I heard them say...
Chorus
F                         C
 Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7                                         Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F                                      C
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California
     Dm                          E
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find it here...
Verse
Am                           E7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
G                                   D                     
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
F                                 C
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm                     E
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am                          E7
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
G                                     D 
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
F                                       C
and still those voices are calling from far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E 
Just to hear them say
Chorus
F                         C
 Welcome to the Hotel California.
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                                               E
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
 
Verse
Am                      E7
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G                               D  
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
F                             C
and in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E
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
You can check out anytime you like
E
But you can never leave...
