EmOn a dark desert highway, B7Cool wind in my hair WDsus2arm smell of colitas A9Rising up through the air CUp ahead in the distance, GI saw a shimmering light MAm7y head grew heavy and my sight grew dim B7I had to stop for the night EmThere she stood in the doorway; B7I heard the mission bell ADsus2nd I was thinking to myself A9This could be heaven or this could be hell CThen she lit up a candle, GAnd she showed me the way Am7There were voices down the corridor; B7I thought I heard them say…
CWelcome to the Hotel CalifoGrnia B7Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) EmSuch a lovely face CPlenty of room at the Hotel CalifGornia Am7Any time of year (Any time of year) B7You can find it here
EmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, B7She got the Mercedes bends Dsus2She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys A9She calls friends CHow they dance in the courtyard, GSweet summer sweat Am7Some dance to remember, B7Some dance to forget EmSo I called up the Captain, B7"Please bring me my wine" Dsus2He said, "We haven't had that spirit here A9Since nineteen sixty nine" CAnd still those voices GAre calling from far away, Am7Wake you up in the middle of the night B7Just to hear them say...
CWelcome to the Hotel CalifGornia B7Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) EmSuch a lovely face CThey living' it up at the Hotel CaGlifornia Am7What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) B7Bring your alibis
EmMirrors on the ceiling, B7The pink champagne on ice Dsus2And she said "We are all just prisoners here, A9Of our own device" CAnd in the master's chambers, GThey gathered for the feast Am7They stab it with their steely knives, B7But they just can't kill the beast
EmLast thing I remember, I was B7Running for the door Dsus2I had to find the passage back A9To the place I was before C"Relax," said the night man, G"We are programmed to receive. Am7You can check-out any time you like, B7But you can never leave! "
