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 
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                               F# 
There she stood in the doorway,  I heard the mission bell 
A                                          E 
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell 
G                        D 
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way 
Em                                   F# 
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say: 
  
OBS: Refrão não é cantado !!!

  |  | Welcome to the Hotel California 
R |  |        F#5                                            B5  
  |  | Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face 
E  |  |  G5                                 D5    
  |  | Plenty of room at the Hotel California  
F  |  |     E5                                          F#5 
  |  | Any time of year... any time of year... you can find it here 
  
 
Bm                           F# 
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends, uh! 
A                                    E 
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends 
G                                D 
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat 
Em                      F# 
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget 
  

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

  |  |  G5                          D5     
  |  | Welcome to the Hotel California 
R |  |        F#5                                            B5  
  |  | Such a lovely place... such a lovely place... such a lovely face 
E  |  |  G5                                 D5    
  |  | Plenty of room at the Hotel California  
F  |  |     E5                                          F#5

Bm                      F# 
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said, 
A                                E 
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" 
G                             D 
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast 
Em                                              F# 
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast 
  

Bm                     F# 
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door 
A                                     E 
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 
G                                  D 
"Relax" said the nightman, "We are programmed to receive" 
Em                                   F# 
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave"
