Verse 1
Bm
On
a dark desert highway,
F#
cool
wind in my hair
A
Warm
smell of colitas,
E
rising
through the air
G
Up
ahead in the distance,
D
I
saw a shimering 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
E
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 Califor
D
nia,
F#
Such
a lovely place
(such a lovely place), such a
Bm
lovely
face
G
Plenty
of room at, the Hotel Califor
D
nia
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 Benz
A
She
got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
E
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, "
F#
Please
bring me my wine", He said
A
"We havent had that spirit here, since
E
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 Califor
D
nia,
F#
Such
a lovely place
(such a lovely place), such a
Bm
lovely
face
They
G
livin
it up at, the Hotel Califor
D
nia
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,
E
of
our own device"
G
And
in the masters chambers,
D
they
gathered for the feast
Em
They
stab it with their steely knives, but they
F#
just
cant kill the beast
Bm
Last
thing I remember, I was
F#
running
for the door
A
I
had to find the passage back, to the
E
place
I was before
"
G
Relax,"
said the night man, "We are
D
programmed
to receive
Em
You
can check out any time you like, but
F#
you
can never leave"
