Am On a dark desert highway,E cool wind in myE⁷ 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 theE⁷ night

Am There she stood in the doorway.E I heard the missionE⁷ bell

G And I was thinking to myself: "This could beD heaven 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,E I thought I heard them say:

F Welcome to the Hotel CaliC fornia

Such aE⁷ lovely place(such a lovely place)such aAm lovely face

There'sF plenty of room at the Hotel CaliC fornia

AnyDm time of year(any time of year)you canE find it here

Am Her mind is Tiffany twisted.E She got the MercedesE⁷ Benz

G She got a lot of pretty pretty boys,D she calls friends

F How they dance in the courtyard,C sweeeeet summer sweat

Dm Some dance to remember,E some dance to forE⁷ get

Am So I called up the Captain, "E Please bring me myE⁷ wine" and he said

"G We haven't had that spirit here sinceD nineteen sixty nine"

F And still those voices are calling fromC far away

Dm Wake you up in the middle of the night,E just to hear them say:

F Welcome to the Hotel CaliC fornia

Such aE⁷ lovely place(such a lovely place)such aAm lovely face

F Livin' it up at the Hotel CaliC fornia

What aDm nice surprise(what a nice surprise)bring yourE alibis

Am Mirrors on the ceiling.E The pink champagne onE⁷ ice and she said

"G We are all just prisoners here,D of our own device"

F And in the master's chambers,C gathered for their feast

Dm They stab it with their steely knives but theyE just can't kill the beast

Am Last thing I remember, I wasE running for theE⁷ door

G I had to find the passage back to theD place I was before

"F Relax" said the night man, "We areC programmed to receive

Dm You can check out any time you like,E but you can never leave"
