Lyrics begin
(NO CAPO)
B minorBm 
F#F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A augmentedA E MajorE
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G+G D MajorD
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
E minorEm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F#F#
I had to stop for the night
B minorBm F#F#
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A augmentedA E MajorE
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
G+G D MajorD
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
E minorEm F#F#
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Welcome to the Hotel California.
F#7F#7 B minorBm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G+G D MajorD
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
E minorEm F#F#
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Verse:
B minorBm F#F#
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
A augmentedA E MajorE
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
G+G D MajorD
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
E minorEm F#F#
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
B minorBm F#F#
So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine'
A augmentedA E MajorE
He said, We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
G+G D MajorD
And still those voices are calling from far away,
E minorEm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
F#F#
Just to hear them say...
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Welcome to the Hotel California
F#7F#7 B minorBm
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place), Such a lovely face
G+G D MajorD
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
E minorEm F#F#
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), Bring your alibis
Verse:
B minorBm F#F#
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
A augmentedA E MajorE
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
G+G D MajorD
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
E minorEm
They stab it with their steely knives,
F#F#
But they just can't kill the beast
B minorBm F#F#
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A augmentedA E MajorE
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
G+G D MajorD
Relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive.
E minorEm
You can check-out any time you like,
F#F#
But you can never leave!
