{Hm}On a dark desert highway,{F#7} cool wind in my hair
{A}Warm smell of colitas{E} rising up through the air
{G}Up ahead in the distance,{D} I saw a shimmering light
{Em}My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
{F#}I had to stop for the night

{Hm}There she stood in the doorway;{F#7} I heard the mission bell
{A}And I was thinking to myself
This could be {E}heaven or this could be hell
{G}Then she lit up a candle,{D} and she showed me the way
{Em}There were voices down the corridor,
{F#}I thought I heard them say…

Chorus:

{G}Welcome to the Hotel Cali{D}fornia.
Such a {F#7}lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a {Hm}lovely face
There’s {G}plenty of room at the Hotel Cali{D}fornia
Any {Em}time of year, (any time of year) You can {F#}find it here

Verse:

{Hm}Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, {F#7}She got the Mercedes bends
{A}She got a lot of pretty pretty boys {E} she calls friends
{G}How they danced in the courtyard, {D}sweet summer sweat
{Em}Some dance to remember,{F#} some dance to forget

{Hm}So I called up the captain;{F#7} Please bring me my wine (he said)
{A}We haven’t had that spirit here since{E} 1969
{G}and still those voices are calling from {D}far away
{Em}Wake you up in the middle of the night
{F#}Just to hear them say…

Chorus:

{G}Welcome to the Hotel Cali{D}fornia.
Such a {F#7}lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a {Hm}lovely face
They’re {G}livin’ it up at the Hotel Cali{D}fornia
What a {Em}nice surprise, (what a nice surprise) Bring your {F#}alibis

Verse:

{Hm}Mirrors on the ceiling;{F#7} the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
{A}We are all just prisoners here,{E} of our own device
{G}and in the master’s chambers,{D} they gathered for the feast
{Em}They stab it with their steely knives but they
{F#}just can’t kill the beast

{Hm}Last thing I remember, I was{F#7} running for the door
{A}I had to find the passage back to the {E}place I was before
{G}”Relax” said the night man; we are{D} programmed to receive
{Em}You can check out any time you like
{F#}But you can never leave…
