Verse 1:
[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitas, ris[E]ing up through the air
[G]Up ahead in the distance, [D/F#]I saw a shimmering light
[Em]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[F#]I had to stop for the night
[Bm]There she stood in the doorway;
[F#]I heard the mission bell
[A]And I was thinking to myself,
[E]'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
[G]Then she lit up a candle and she [D/F#]showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor,
[B7]I thought I heard them say...
Chorus:
[G]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[D/F#]fornia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[Bm]Such a lovely face (such a lovely place)
[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[D/F#]fornia
[Em]Any time of year (any time of year)
[B7]You can find it here
Verse 2
[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes bends
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [E]that she calls friends
[G]How they dance in the courtyard, [D/F#]sweet summer sweat.
[Em]Some dance to remember, [F#]some dance to forget
[Bm]So I called up the Captain,
[F#]'Please bring me my wine'
[A]He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty nine'
[G]And still those voices are call[D/F#]ing from far away,
[Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[B7]Just to hear them say...
Chorus:
[G]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[D/F#]fornia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
[Bm]Such a lovely face (such a lovely place)

[Em]What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
[B7]Bring your alibis (bring your alibis)
Verse 3
[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]The pink champagne on ice
[A]And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, [E]of our own device'
[G]And in the master's chambers, [D/F#]They gathered for the feast
[Em]The stab it with their steely knives, [F#]But they just can't kill the beast
[Bm]Last thing I remember, I was [F#]Running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back, [E]To the place I was before
[G]'Relax,' said the night man, [D/F#]We are programmed to receive.
[Em]You can checkout any time you like,
[B7]but you can never leave
