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!'
