Am
E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hairG
D
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the airF
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering lightDm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dimE7
I had to stop for the nightAm
There she stood in the doorway;E7
I heard the mission bellG
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 wayDm
There were voices down the corridor,E7
I thought I heard them say…
Chorus:F
C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely faceF
Plenty of room at the Hotel
C
California
Dm
Any time of year (Any time of year)
E7
You can find it here
Verse:Am
E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes BenzG
D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friendsF
How they dance in the courtyard,C
sweet summer sweat.Dm
E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forgetAm
So I called up the Captain,
E7
“Please bring me my wine”
G
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
D
since nineteen sixty nine”F
And still those voices are calling fromC
far away,Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the nightE7
Just to hear them say…

You can find it hereAm
Mirrors on the ceiling,E7
The pink champagne on ice
G
And she said “We are all just prisoners
D
here, of our own device”F
And in the master’s chambers,C
They gathered for the feastDm
They stab it with their steely knives,
E7
But they just can’t kill the beastAm
Last thing I remember, I wasE7
Running for the doorG
I had to find the passage back
D
To the place I was beforeF
“Relax, ” said the night man,
C
“We are programmed to receive.Dm
You can check-out any time you like,E7
But you can never leave! ”

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Other than that, the chords are on point other than what ignacimo98 pointed out.
