Chords & Lyrics:
---------------

Em           '            B7                  '
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
D2           '         Em/D♭                  '
Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air
C            '            G                   '
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Am7                          '
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, 
        B7              '
I had to stop for the night


There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission 
bell
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven
or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor; I thought I 
heard them say


Chorus:
------

C                          G
Welcome to the Hotel California
B7
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a
Em
lovely face
C                              G
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
  Am7
Any time of year (any time of year), you can
B7
find it here


Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the
Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that
she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet
summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to
forget


So I called up the captain, Please bring
me my wine, He said
We haven't had that spirit here since
nineteen sixty-nine
And still those voices are calling
from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night,
just to hear them say


Outro: 5 verses...fade out

Warm smell of colitas, rising through the air
