    A: 577655
    E: 022100
    G: 355433

    If you want.)

    During the verses, you can choose to either arpeggiate the chords or strum them. I prefer a strum, because I do variated arpeggios for the solo.
    Verse 1:

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

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

    Chorus:

    G D/F# (strum a few D/F#’s)
    Welcome to the Hotel California
    F#
    Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
    Bm
    Such a lovely face (such a lovely place)
    G D/F# (strum)
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Em
    Any time of year (any time of year)
    F#
    You can find it here

    Verse 2 (Same as 1)

    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
    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...

    Chorus (same)
    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
    Such a lovely face (such a lovely face)
    They livin' it up at the Hotel California
    What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
    Bring your alibis (bring your alibis)

    Solo: I just re-pick the intro, but do it about 2x faster. You can screw around and arpeggiate chords as you wish. It’s your song.

    Verse 3 (same)
    Mirrors on the ceiling,
    The pink champagne on ice
    And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
    And in the master's chambers,
    They gathered for the feast
    The stab it with their steely knives,
    But they just can't kill the beast

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    'Relax,' said the night man,
    We are programmed to receive.
    You can checkout any time you like,
    but you can never leave

    Outro: I just like to do a funky strum on the verse chords. Somethiing like:

    Bm
    e|-7-x-7-x-7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------------|
    B|-7-x-7-x-7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------------|
    G|-7-x-7-x-7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------------|
    D|-9-x-9-x-9-9-9-9----------------------------------------------------|
    A|-9-x-9-x-9-9-9-9----------------------------------------------------|
    E|-7-x-7-x-7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------------|

    Or whatever you want it to be. Just be original. I mean if people wanted to hear the album version they’d pop in the CD.
