VERSE:
Bm Bm F#7 F#7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A A E E
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
G G D D
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Em Em
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
F# F#
I had to stop for the night


Bm Bm F#7 F#7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
A A
And I was thinking to myself
E E
This could be heaven or this could be hell
G G D D
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Em Em
There were voices down the corridor,
F# F#
I thought I heard them say...


CHORUS:

G G D D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G G D D
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em Em F# F#
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here...

VERSE:
Bm Bm F#7 F#7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes benz
A A E E
She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
G G D D
How they danced in the court yard sweet summer sweat
Em Em F# F#
Some dance to remember some dance to forget

Bm Bm F#7 F#7
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
A A E E
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
G G D D
and still those voice are calling from far away
Em Em
Wake you up in the middle of the night
F# F#
Just to hear them say


CHORUS:

G G D D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G G D D
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em Em F# F#
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here...


VERSE:

Bm Bm F#7 F#7
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an she said)
A A E E
We are all just prisoners here , of our own device
G G D D
and in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Em Em
They stab it with their steely knives but they
F# F#
just can't kill the beast

Bm Bm F#7 F#7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A A E E
I had find the passage back to the place I was before
G G D D
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Em Em
You can check out anytime you like
F# F#
But you can never leave...


CHORUS 2:

G G D D
Welcome to the Hotel California.
F#7 F#7 Bm Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
G G D D
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em Em F# F#
What a nice surprise; bring your alibis

Chorus 2 comes before the last verse and is:
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7 Am
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
F C
Livin it up at the Hotel California
DmE
What a nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your alibis

Then, after the last verse, the song finishes with a long instrumental.
