[Verse 1]
Am                           E7
   On a dark desert highway,    cool wind in my hair
G                       D
  Warm smell of colitas   rising up through the air
F                           C
  Up ahead in the distance,   I saw a shimmering light
Dm
   My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,
E
  I had to stop for the night
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                 E7
   There she stood in the doorway,    I heard the mission bell
G
  And I was thinking to myself
              D
This could be heaven or this could be hell
F                           C
  Then she lit up a candle,   and she showed me the way
Dm
   There were voices down the corridor,
E7
   I thought I heard them say...
 
[Chorus]
F                         C
 Welcome to the Hotel California
       E7                                         Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
        F                               C
There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Dm                                       E7
Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here...
 
[Verse 3]
Am                              E7
   Her mind is Tiffany twisted,    She got the Mercedes bends
G                                     D
  She got a lot of pretty pretty boys   that she calls friends
F                                   C
  How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm                         E7
   Some dance to remember,    some dance to forget
 
[Verse 4]
Am                              E7
   So I called up the captain; "Please bring me my wine" (he said)
G                                        D
  "We haven't had that spirit here since   1969"
F                                         C
  And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm
   Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7
   Just to hear them say...
 
[Chorus]
F                         C
 Welcome to the Hotel California
       E7                                         Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
        F                             C
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
       Dm                                               E7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
 
[Verse 5]
Am*                        E7*
   Mirrors on the ceiling,    the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G*                                D*
  We are all just prisoners here,   of our own device
F*                              C*
  And in the master's chambers,   they gathered for the feast
Dm*
   They stab it with their steely knives, but they
E7**
Just can't kill the beast
 
[Verse 6]
Am                              E7
   Last thing I remember, I was    running for the door
G                                       D
  I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F                                     C
  "Relax" said the night man, "we are   programmed to receive,
Dm
   You can check out any time you like
E7
   But you can never leave"
 
[Outro]
