Intro

Bm - F# - A - Em - G - D - Em - F#      x2

[Bm] On a dark desert highway, [F#] cool wind in my hair
[A] Warm smell of colitas [Em] 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 [Em]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 Cali[D]fornia.
	Such a [Em]lovely place, (such a lovely place) [Bm]such a lovely face
	[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[D]fornia
	Any [Em]time of year (any time of year) you can [F#]find it here


[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#] she got the Mercedes bends
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys   [Em]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;  [D]"Please bring me my wine."
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [Em]nineteen sixty-nine"
[G]And still those voices are calling from [D]far away
[Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[F#]just to hear them say


	[G]Welcome to the Hotel Cali[D]fornia.
	Such a [Em]lovely place, (such a lovely place) [Bm]such a lovely face
	They [G]livin' it up at the Hotel Cali[D]fornia
	What a [Em]nice surprise (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, [Em]of our own device"
[G]And in the master's chambers, [D]they gathered for the feast
[Em]They stab it with their steely knives but they 
[F#]just can't kill the beast

[Bm]Last thing I remember, [F#]I was running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back to the [Bm]place 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"
