^BmOn a dark desert highway ^F#cool wind in my hair ^AWarm smell of colitas ^Erising up through the air ^GUp ahead in the distance ^DI saw a shimmering light ^EmMy head grew weary and my sight grew dim ^F#I had to stop for the night

^BmThere she stood in the doorway ^F#I heard the mission bell ^AAnd I was thinking to myself this could be ^Eheaven or this could be hell ^GThen she lit up a candle ^Dand showed me the way ^EmThere were voices down the corridor ^F#I thought I heard them say

Chorus

^GWelcome to the Hotel Cali^Dfornia Such a ^Emlovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a ^Bm7lovely face ^GPlenty of room at the Hotel Cali^Dfornia Any ^Emtime of year (Any time of year) You can ^F#find it here

Verse 2 - Same chord progression again.

^BmHer mind is Tiffany twisted ^F#she got the Mercedes-Benz ^AShe got lots of pretty pretty boys ^Eshe calls friends ^GHow they dance in the courtyard ^Dsweet summer sweat ^EmSome dance to remember ^F#some dance to forget

^BmSo I called up the captain ^F#please bring me my wine (He said) ^AWe haven't had that kind of spirit here since ^Enineteen sixty-nine ^GAnd still those voices are calling from ^Dfar away ^EmWake you up in the middle of the night ^F#just to hear them say

Chorus 2 - Same chords different lyrics

^GWelcome to the Hotel Cali^Dfornia Such a ^Emlovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a ^Bm7lovely face They ^Glivin' it up at the Hotel Cali^Dfornia Such a ^Emnice suprise (Such a nice suprise) Bring your ^F#alibis

Verse 3 - Again, the same chords

^BmMirrors on the ceiling ^F#pink champagne on ice (And she said) ^AWe are all just prisoners here ^Eof our own device ^GAnd in the masters chambers ^Dthey gathered for the feast ^EmThey stab it with their steely knives but they ^F#just cant kill the beast

^BmLast thing I remember ^F#I was runnin' for the door ^AI had to find the passage back to the ^Eplace I was before "^GRelax" said the nightman "We are ^Dprogrammed to recieve" ^EmYou check out any time you like ^F#but you can never leave

Solo - I dont have it tabbed but it works off of the same basic Bm-F#-A-E-G-D-Em-F# progression. Tabbed by Frank Reder I know it's only rock 'n roll reder212@hotmail.com But I like it just the same. -The Rolling Stones
