| O | n a dark desert highway, c | ool wind in my hair |
| A | E | |
| W | arm smell of colitas r | ising up through the air |
| G | D | |
| U | p ahead in the distance, I | saw a shimmering light |
| Em | |
| M | y head grew heavy and my sight grew dim |
| F#7 | |
| I | had to stop for the night |

| T | here she stood in the doorway; I | heard the mission bell |
| A | E | |
| A | nd I was thinking to myself this could be h | eaven or this could be hell |
| G | D | |
| T | hen she lit up a candle, | and she showed me the way |
| Em | F#7 | |
| T | here were voices down the corridor, I | thought I heard them say |

| G | D | |
| W | elcome to the Hotel Calif | ornia. |
| Em | Bm7 | |
| Such a l | ovely place, such a l | ovely face |
| G | D | |
| (1)P | lenty of room at the Hotel Calif | ornia |
| (2)They livin' it up at the Hotel California |
| Em | F# | |
| (1)Any t | ime of year (any time of year) you can f | ind it here |
| (2)What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis |
| Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends |
| She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends |
| How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat |
| Some dance to remember, some dance to forget |
| So I called up the captain; "Please bring me my wine." |
| "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine" |
| And still those voices are calling from far away |
| Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say |
| CHORUS (with ending 2) |
| 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 |
| 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 nightman, "We are programmed to receive" |
| "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave" |
