🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Welcome to the Hotel California
  • Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
  • Such a lovely face
  • Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Sing the opening verse

  • On a dark desert highway
  • Cool wind in my hair
  • Warm smell of colitas
  • Rising up through the air
