1st Verse :
Em                        B
On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
D                      A 
Warm smell of colitas rising through the air
C                                  G
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimering light
Am                                       B
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night



2nd Verse :
Em                             B
There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
D                                            A
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
C                                G
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Am                                  B
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say



Chorus :
C                      G
Welcome to the Hotel California
       B                                       Em
Such a lovely place such a lovely place such a lovely face
C                              G
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Am                                     B

3rd Verse :
Em                           B
Her mind is Tiffany twisted she got the Mercedes Benz
D                                         A
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
C                                 G
How they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat
Am                      B
Some dance to remember some dance to forget


4th Verse :
Em                           B
So I called up the captain Please bring me my wine He said
D                                      A
We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine
C                                        G
And still those voices are calling from far away
Am                                       B
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say



Chorus :
C                       G

Mirrors on the ceiling the pink champagne on ice and she said
D>let ring                                A>let ring
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
C>let ring                   G>let ring
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
Am>let ring                                    B>let ring
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

Em                            B
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
D                                     A
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
C                                  G
Relax said the night man We are programmed to receive
