D----D-DU-UD-D-[DU]​

Am E
On a dark desert highway
G D
Cool wind in my hair
F C
Warm smell of a colitas
Dm E
Rising up through the air



Am E
Up a head in the distance
G D
I saw shimering light
F C
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
Dm E
I had to stop for the night


Am E
There she stood in the door way
G D
I heared the mission bell
F C
And I was thinking to myself
Dm E
This could be heaven and this could be hell


Am E
Then she lit up a candle
G D
And she showed me the way
F C
There were voices down the corridor
Dm E
I thought I heared them say



Chorus:

F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7
Such a lovely place
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of the room at the Hotel California
Dm
Any time of year
E7
You can find it here

Am E G D F C Dm E – 2x times



Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She got the Mersedes 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 faraway
Wake up in the middle
Of the night just to hear them say

Chorus:

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprice bring your alibis.
