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
       F#                      Bm          
Such a  lovely place... such a lovely face
G                                D      
 Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Em                      F#           
Any time of year... you can find it here

Bm                           F#                              
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends, uh!
A                                    E                      
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
G                                D                  
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em                      F#                   
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm                          F#                                 
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine," he said
A                                      E                    
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
G                                       D        
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em                                      F#                    
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say

G                         D      
 Welcome to the Hotel California
     F#                        Bm          
Such a lovely place...  such a lovely face
G                            D      
Livin it up at the Hotel California
       Em                          F#     
What a nice surprise... bring your alibis

Bm                      F#                                       
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said,
A                                E                  
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
G                             D                           
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em                                              F#                        
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
  Bm                     F#                         
  Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A                                     E                  
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
G                                  D                      
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive"
Em                                   F#                       
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
