Guitar chords and tabs for beginners: "Hotel California" by Eagles - chord illustrations

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  G  D  F …

There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
F                                           C
Welcome to the Hotel California
             Dm

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
             Am7

Such a lovely face
F                                                     C

Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm

Any time of year (Any time of year)
         E

You can find it here
Am                                        E
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G                                   D

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
F                                                      C

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Dm

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am  E  G  D  F …
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,
Dm

Wake you up in the middle of the night
E

Just to hear them say...
F  C  Dm  Am7 …
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
Am  E  G  D  F …
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
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Am  E  G  D  F …
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 check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!

F  C  Dm  Am7 …
Welcome to the Hotel California …

It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
D  D7  G  G7  C …
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late…
