Am         E7       G       D       F       C       Dm         E7

Am   On a dark desert highway, E7   cool wind in my 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, E7   I had to stop for the night

 

Am   There she stood in the doorway; E7   I heard the mission bell

G   And I was thinking to myself,   'this could be D 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, E7   I thought I heard them say…

 

F   Welcome to the hotel CaliCfornia,   such a E7lovely place, such a Amlovely face

F   Plenty of room at the hotel CaliCfornia,   any Dmtime of year, you can E7find it here

 

Am   Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, E7   she got the Mercedes Benz

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

F   How they dance in the courtyard, C   sweet summer sweat.

Dm   Some dance to remember, E7   some dance to forget

 

Am   So I called up the Captain, E7   'please bring me my wine'

He said, G   'we haven t had that spirit here since D nineteen sixty nine'

F   And still those voices are calling from C far away,

Dm   Wake you up in the middle of the night, E7   just to hear them say…

 

F   Welcome to the hotel CaliCfornia,   such a E7lovely place, such a Amlovely face

They F living it up at the hotel CaliCfornia,   What a Dm nice surprise, bring your E7alibis

 

Am   Mirrors on the ceiling, E7   the pink champagne on ice

G   And she said 'we are all just prisoners here, D   of our own device'

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

Dm   They stab it with their steely knives, but they E7just can't kill the beast

 

Am   Last thing I remember,   I was E7 running for the door

G   I had to find the passage back,   to the D place I was before

F   'Relax,' said the night man,   'we are Cprogrammed to receive.

Dm   You can checkout any time you like, E7   but you can never leave!'
