 Chord
 
 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
