[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]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
[Bm]There she stood in the doorway, [F#]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#] lovely place... such a [Bm]lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[D]fornia
Any [Em]time of year... you can [F#]find it here
[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes bends, uh!
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys [E]that she calls friends
[G]How they dance in the courtyard, [D]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," he said
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty-nine"
[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
[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali[D]fornia
Such [F#]a lovely place... such a [Bm]lovely face
[G]Livin it up at the Hotel Cali[D]fornia
What a [Em]nice surprise... bring your [F#]alibis
[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]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
[Bm]Last thing I remember, [F#]I was running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back to the [E]place I was before
[G]"Relax" said the nightman, "We are [D]programmed to receive"
[Em]"You can check out anytime you like, [F#]but you can never leave"
