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 heavy 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,D and she showed me the way
EmThere were voices down the corridor, F#I thought I heard them say
GWelcome to the Hotel CaliDfornia.
Such a Emlovely place, such a Bm7lovely face
GPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliDfornia
EmAny time of year (any time of year) you F#can find it here
BmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, F#she got the Mercedes bends
AShe got a lot of pretty, Epretty boys she calls friends
GHow they dance in the courtyard, Dsweet summer sweat.
EmSome dance to remember, some dance to forget
BmSo I called up the Captain, 'F#Please bring me my wine'
AHe said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since Enineteen sixty nine'
GAnd still those voices are Dcalling from far away,
EmWake you up in the middle of the night
F#Just to hear them say...
GWelcome to the Hotel CaliDfornia
EmSuch a lovely place (Such a lovely place), Bm7Such a lovely face
GThey livin' it up at the Hotel CaliDfornia
EmWhat a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), F#Bring your alibis
BmMirrors on the ceiling, F#The pink champagne on ice
AAnd she said 'We are all just prisoners here, Eof our own device'
GAnd in the master's chambers, DThey gathered for the feast
EmThey stab it with their steely knives,
F#But they just can't kill the beast
BmLast thing I remember, F#I was running for the door
AI had to find the passage back to the Eplace I was before
G'Relax,' said the night man, 'DWe are programmed to receive.
EmYou can check-out any time you like,
F#But you can never leave!'
