[Verse 1]
Am E7
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
E7
I had to stop for the night
Am E7
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
G D
Then 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
There were voices down the corridor,
E7
I thought I heard them say
[Verse 2]
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7
Such a lovely place
E7
(Such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm
Any time of year
Dm
(Any time of year)
E7
You can find it here
[Verse 3]
Am E7
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
G D
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
F C
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E7
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine"
G D
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
F C
And still those voices are calling from far away
Dm E7
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say
[Chorus]
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California
E7
Such a lovely place
E7
(Such a lovely place)
Am
Such a lovely face
F C
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm
What a nice surprise
Dm
(what a nice surprise)
E7
Bring your alibis
[Verse 4]
Am E7
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
G D
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
F C
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
Dm E7
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
Am E7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G D
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F C
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
Dm E7
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
[Solo]

Thanks. Simple but sounds true to the song.

I'm not good enough to get to that E7, but I've found a regular old E sounds decently acceptable in it's place.
