Verse:
B minorBm            F#7F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A augmentedA           E7E7
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                    F#7F#7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim; I had to stop for the night.

B minorBm               F#7F#7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A augmentedA                      E7E7
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#7F#7
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    F#7(on C#C#)Bm(on D MajorD)
Such a lovely place,(such a lovely place)such a lovely face...
G+G                D MajorD
Plenty of room at the Hotel California...
  E minorEm                   F#7F#7
Any time of year,(any time of year)you can find it here...

Verse:
B minorBm              F#7F#7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Bends
A augmentedA                   E7E7
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G+G                D MajorD
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
E minorEm           F#7F#7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

B minorBm              F#7F#7
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
     A augmentedA                   E7E7
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                   F#7F#7
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say...

Chorus:
G+G            D MajorD
Welcome to the Hotel California...
    F#7F#7                   B minorBm    F#7(on C#C#)Bm(on D MajorD)
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#7F#7
What a nice surprise,(what a nice surprise)bring your alibis...

Verse:
B minorBm           F#7F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
       A augmentedA                E7E7
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
G+G
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
E minorEm
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast

B minorBm              F#7F#7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A augmentedA                 E7E7
I had to find the passage back to place I was before
G+G                  D MajorD
"Relax" said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.
E minorEm                  F#7F#7
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".
