Am On a dark desert highway, E7 cool wind in my hair G Warm smell of colitas D rising up through the air F Up ahead in the distance, C I saw a shimmering light Dm My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, E I had to stop for the night
[Verse 2]
Am There she stood in the doorway, E7 I heard the mission bell G And I was thinking to myself This could be Dheaven or this could be hell F Then she lit up a candle, C and she showed me the way Dm There were voices down the corridor, E7 I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus]
F Welcome to the Hotel CaliCfornia Such a E7lovely place (such a lovely place), such a Amlovely face There's Fplenty of room at the Hotel CaliCfornia Any Dmtime of year, (any time of year) You can E7find it here...
[Verse 3]
Am Her mind is Tiffany twisted, E7 She got the Mercedes bends G She got a lot of pretty pretty boys D that she calls friends F How they danced in the courtyard, Csweet summer sweat Dm Some dance to remember, E7 some dance to forget
[Verse 4]
Am So I called up the captain; "E7Please bring me my wine" (he said) G "We haven't had that spirit here since D 1969" F And still those voices are calling from Cfar away Dm Wake you up in the middle of the night E7 Just to hear them say...
[Chorus]
F Welcome to the Hotel CaliCfornia Such a E7lovely place (such a lovely place), such a Amlovely face They're Flivin' it up at the Hotel CaliCfornia What a Dmnice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your E7alibis
[Verse 5]
Am* Mirrors on the ceiling, E7* the pink champagne on ice (and she said) G* We are all just prisoners here, D* of our own device F* And in the master's chambers, C* they gathered for the feast Dm* They stab it with their steely knives, but they E7** Just can't kill the beast
[Verse 6]
Am Last thing I remember, I was E7 running for the door G I had to find the passage back to the Dplace I was before F "Relax" said the night man, "we are C programmed to receive, Dm You can check out any time you like E7 But you can never leave"
[Outro] Am E7 G D7 F C Dm E7 x5
