                        (x2)  
[Verse]
Bm                           F#
  Por el camino del desierto, el viento me despeina
A                          E
  Sube el aroma de colita, luna, luna de nadie
G                    D
  Ella ve a lo lejos, una luz centela
Em                    F#
  La idea de mi estar, te vi por el la noche
Bm                         F#
  Ella estaba a la entrada, y la campana oyó sonar
A                          E
  Y me dijo ya a mi mismo, que es puerta del cielo
G                        D
  Ella enciende una vela, y muestrame el camino
Em                           F#
  Suenan voces en el corredor, y lo que indican diciendo
[Chorus]
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       F#                   Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       Em                   F#
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
[Solo]
Bm   F#   A   E   G   D   Em   F#
[Verse]
Bm                            F#
   Ella al lado que brillaba, tenia una Mercedes
A                         E
   Rodea de chicos guapos, ella llamaba amigos
G                        D
   Cuando viene despacio, perfuma de verano
Em                       F#
   Aquel era pa recordar, y otra para olvidar
Bm                    F#
   Le pide al capitan, que sirva el vino
A                    E
   Y me dijo no amor tenido ese alcohol
G                          D
   Desde sesenta y nueve, las voces que llamando
Em                        F#
   Pues ella va a despertar, la noche para decir
[Chorus]
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       F#                   Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       Em                   F#
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
[Bridge]
Bm                        F#
   El espejo en el techo, y el champan en el hielo
     A                         E
   Y ella dijo somos todos prisioneros
              G                          D
   Por propia voluntad, y en los cuartos principales
            Em
   Hacen su siesta   Atacar a la bestia
   F#
   Pero no la logran matar
[Verse]
Bm                    F#
   Mi ultimo recuerdo  corria hacia la puerta
A                                   E
   Ver una candela en el camino por donde habi­a llegado
G                          D
   "Relax" dijo el portero  Por mi es honor recibir
Em                           F#
   Puede salir cuando quiere  Pero nunca has de partir
[Chorus]
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       F#                   Bm
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
G                           D
  Welcome to see Hotel California
       Em                   F#
Such a lovely place, such a lovely place
