[Verse]
Am                       E
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
There she stood in the doorway;
E
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
E
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F                                C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm
Any time of year (Any time of year)
E
You can find it here

[Verse]
Am                           E
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G                                   D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
F                                C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Dm                      E
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Am
So I called up the Captain,
E
"Please bring me my wine"
       G                                        D
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
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
E
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F                                     C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
E
Bring your alibis

[Verse] 
*Single Strums
Am*  
Mirrors on the ceiling,
E*
The pink champagne on ice
G*                                           D*
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
F*
And in the master's chambers,
C*
They gathered for the feast
Dm*
They stab it with their steely knives,
E
But they just can't kill the beast

Am
Last thing I remember, I was
E
Running for the door
G
I had to find the passage back
D
To the place I was before
F
"Relax, " said the night man,
C
"We are programmed to receive.
Dm
You can check-out any time you like,
E
But you can never leave! "

[Outro]
