[Bm]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]I 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

[Em7]There were voices down the corridor

[F#7]I thought I heard them say

 

[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califo[D]rnia

Such a[F#7]lovely place, such a[Bm]lovely face

[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califo[D]rnia

Any[Em]time of year, you can[F#7]find it here

 

[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,[F#7]she got the Mercedes bends

[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,[E7]that 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]nineteen sixty nine"

[G]And still those voices are calling from[D]far away

[Em7]Wake you up in the middle of the night

[F#7]Just to hear them say

 

[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califo[D]rnia

Such a[F#7]lovely place, such a[Bm]lovely face

[G]They livin' it up at the Hotel Califo[D]rnia

[Em]What a nice surprise. bring your[F#7]alibis

 

[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling.

[F#7]The 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]They gathered for the feast

[Em7]They stab it with their steely knives

[F#7]But they just can't kill the beast

 

[Bm]Last thing I remember

I was[F#7]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

[D]"We are programmed to receive

[Em7]You can check out any time you like

[F#7]But you can never leave"
