Bm On a dark
desert highway, F# cool wind in
my hair
A Warm smell of colitas E
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# I had to stop for the night
Bm There she stood in the
doorway; F# I heard the mission
bell
A And I was thinking to myself
this could be E 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# I thought I heard
them say
G Welcome to the Hotel CaliDfornia.
Em Such a lovely place, such a Bm7
lovely face
G Plenty of room at the Hotel
CaliDfornia
Em Any time of year, you can F#
find it here
Bm Her mind is Tiffany
twisted, F# she got a Mercedes
Benz
A She got a lot of pretty, pretty
boys E that she calls friends
G How they dance in the
courtyard, D sweet summer sweat
Em Some dance to remember, F#
some dance to forget
Bm So I called up the captain;
F# "Please bring me my
wine."
A "We haven't had that
spirit here since E nineteen
sixty-nine"
G And still those voices are
calling from Dfar away
Em Wake you up in the middle of
the night, F# just to hear them
say
G Welcome to the Hotel CaliDfornia.
Em Such a lovely place, such a Bm7
lovely face
G They livin' it up at the D
Hotel California
Em What a nice surprise, bring
your F# alibis
Bm Mirrors on the ceiling, F#
the pink champagne on ice
And she said A "We are all
just prisoners here, E of our own
device"
G And in the master's chambers, D
they gathered for the feast
EmThey stab it with their steely
knives, F#but they just can't
kill the beast
Bm Last thing I remember, I was F#
running for the door
A I had to find the passage back
to the plaEce I was before
G"Relax" said the
nightman, "We are D programmed
to receive"
Em"You can check out anytime
you like, F# but you can never
leave"
