Verse 1:

A minorAm             E7E7
 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G+G           D MajorD
 Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
FF             C majorC
 Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
DmDm
  My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E MajorE
 I had to stop for the night


Verse 2:

A minorAm                E7E7
 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G+G
 And I was thinking to myself
       D MajorD
This could be heaven or this could be hell
FF             C majorC
 Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
DmDm
  There were voices down the corridor
E MajorE
 I thought I heard them say...

Chorus:

FF             C majorC
 Welcome to the Hotel California
    E7E7                     A minorAm
Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
    FF                C majorC
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
  DmDm                    E MajorE
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here


Verse 3:

A minorAm              E7E7
 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
G+G                  D MajorD
 She got a lot of pretty pretty boys  she calls friends
FF                  C majorC
 How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
DmDm            E MajorE
 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget


Verse 4:

A minorAm              E7E7
 So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
G+G                   D MajorD
 We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
FF                     C majorC
 and still those voices are calling from far away
DmDm
  Wake you up in the middle of the night
E MajorE
 Just to hear them say...


Chorus:

FF             C majorC
 Welcome to the Hotel California

They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
    DmDm                        E MajorE
What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis


Verse 5:

A minorAm            E7E7
  Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G+G                D MajorD
 We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
FF               C majorC
 and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
DmDm
 They stab it with their steely knives but they
E MajorE
just can't kill the beast


Verse 6:

A minorAm               E7E7
  Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G+G                  D MajorD
 I had find the passage back to the place I was before
FF                  C majorC
 "Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
DmDm
 You can check out any time you like
E MajorE
 But you can never leave...
