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 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 {Fill 1}
Welcome to the Hotel California
F# Bm {Fill 2}
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
G D {Fill 3}
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em F#
Any time of year... any time of year... you can find it here
Fill 1

Verse
Bm F#
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes benz, 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 Chorus
G D {Fill 4}
Welcome to the Hotel California
F# Bm {Fill 2}
Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face
G D {Fill 5}
Livin it up at the Hotel California

Verse
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'
