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

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

 Chorus :
 
 F                        C
 Welcome to the Hotel California.
        E                    Am
 Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
 C                               Dm
 Plenty of room at the Hotel California
 E                                       E
 Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

And so on....
