{start_of_verse}
[Am]On a dark desert highway, [E7]cool wind in my hair
[G]Warm smell of colitas r[D]ising 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
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_verse}
[Am]There she stood in the doorway, [E7]I heard the mission bell
[G]Then 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
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_chorus}
[F]  Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
Such a [E7]lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a [Am]lovely face
[F]Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
Any [Dm]time of year (Any time of year)
You can [E7]find it here
{end_of_chorus}

{start_of_verse}
[Am]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [E7]she got the Mercedes bends
[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys [D]that she calls friends
[F]How they dance in the courtyard, [C]sweet summer sweat
[Dm]Some dance to remember, [E7]some dance to forget
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_verse}
[Am]So I called up the captain, "[E7]Please bring me my wine"
[G]He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since [D]1969"
[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
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_chorus}
[F]  Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
Such a [E7]lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a [Am]lovely face
They're [F]livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
What a [Dm]nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your [E7]alibis
{end_of_chorus}

{start_of_verse}
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling, the [E7]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 j[E7]ust can't kill the beast
{end_of_verse}

{start_of_outro}
[Am]Last thing I remember, [E7]I was 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 [C]programmed to receive
[Dm]You can check out any time you like, [E7]but you can never leave"
{end_of_outro}
