On a dark desert highway,
|F#7 |
cool wind in my hair,
|A |
warm smell of colitas,
|E7 |
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#7 |
I had to stop for the night-
||Bm |
There she stood in the doorway,
|F#7 |
heard the mission bell,
|A |
and I was thinking to myself, “This could be
|E7 |
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#7 |
thought I heard them say-
||G |
Welcome to the Hotel Cali-
|D |
fornia, such a
|F#7 |
lovely place, such a
|Bm |
lovely face, there’s-
||G |
plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-
|D |
fornia, any
|Em |
time of year, you can
|F#7 |
find it here-
||Bm |
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
|F#7 |
she got the Mercedes Benz, uh,
|A |
she got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
|E7 |
she calls friends-
||G |
How they dance in the courtyard,
|D |
sweet summer sweat,
|Em |
some dance to remember,
|F#7 |
some dance to forget-
||Bm |
So I called up the Captain,
|F#7 |
“Please, bring me my wine,” he said,
|A |
“We haven’t had that spirit here since-
|E7 |
1969”
||G |
And still those voices are calling from
|D |
far away,
|Em |
wake you up in the middle of the night,
|F#7 |
just to hear them say-
||G |
Welcome to the Hotel Cali-
|D |
fornia, such a
|F#7 |
lovely place, such a
|Bm |
lovely face, they’re-
||G |
living it up at the Hotel Cali-
|D |
fornia, what a
|Em |
nice surprise, bring your
|F#7 |
alibis-
||Bm |
Mirrors on the ceiling,
|F#7 |
pink champagne on ice, and she said,
|A |
“We are all just prisoners here-
|E7 |
of our own device”
||G |
And in the master’s chambers,
|D |
gathered for the feast,
|Em |
stab it with their steely knives, but they
|F#7 |
just can’t kill the beast-
||Bm |
Last thing I remember, I
|F#7 |
was running for the door,
|A |
I had to find the passage back, to the
|E7 |
place I was before-
||G |
“Relax,” said the night man, “We
|D |
are programmed to receive,
|Em |
you can check out any time you like,
|F#7 |
but you can never leave”
