[Verse]
  C#m                         G#7
    On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
  B                      F#
    Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
  A                          E
    Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
  F#m
     My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
  G#
    I had to stop for the night
  C#m                               G#7
    There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
  B
    And I was thinking to myself
                F#
  This could be heaven or this could be hell
  A                          E
    Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
  F#m
     There were voices down the corridor,
  G#
    I thought I heard them say…
  [Chorus]
  A                          E
    Welcome to the Hotel California.
         G#7                                          C#m
  Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
          A                               E
  There's plenty of room at the Hotel California
      F#m                                       G#
  Any time of year, (any time of year) You can find it here
  [Verse]
  C#m                            G#7
   Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes bends
  B                                    F#
   She got a lot of pretty pretty boys   she calls friends
  A                                   E
    How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
  F#m                       G#
    Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
  C#m                           G#7
    So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
  B                                     F#
   We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
  A                                         E
    and still those voices are calling from far away
  F#m
     Wake you up in the middle of the night 
  G#
    Just to hear them say…
  [Chorus]
  A                         E
   Welcome to the Hotel California.
         G#7                                          C#m
  Such a lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
          A                             E
  They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
         F#m                                               G#
  What a nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis
  [Verse]
  C#m                        G#7
     Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
  B                                F#
    We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
  A                              E
    and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
  F#m
   They stab it with their steely knives but they
  G#
  just can't kill the beast
  C#m                             G#7
     Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
  B                                       F#
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
  A                                   E
    "Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
  F#m
    You can check out any time you like
  G#
   But you can never leave…
