[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 ...
{soc}
[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.

[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.
[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 Cali-[C]fornia
Such a [E7]lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a [Am]lovely face
[F]Their livin' it up at the Hotel Cali-[C]fornia
What a [Dm]nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your [E7]alibis
{eoc}
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling, [E7]the pink champagne on ice.
And she said "[G]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 [E7]just 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 [C]programmed to receive.
[Dm]You can check-out any time you like, [E7]But you can never leave!"
