Intro:
Am – E7 – G – D – F – C – Dm – E7
AmOn a dark desert highway, E7cool wind in my hair
GWarm smell of colitas, Drising up through the air
FUp ahead in the distance, I Csaw a shimmering light
DmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7I had to stop for the night
AmThere she stood in the doorway;
E7I heard the mission bell
GAnd I was thinking to myself,
“This could be DHeaven or this could be Hell”
FThen she lit up a candle Cand she showed me the way
DmThere were voices down the corridor,
E7I thought I heard them say…
Chorus:
FWelcome to the Hotel CaliCfornia
Such a E7lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a Amlovely face
FPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliCfornia
Any Dmtime of year (Any time of year)
You can E7find it here
Verse:
AmHer mind is Tiffany-twisted, E7she got the Mercedes Benz
GShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys Dshe calls friends
FHow they dance in the courtyard, Csweet summer sweat.
DmSome dance to remember, E7some dance to forget
AmSo I called up the Captain,
“E7Please bring me my wine”
He said, “GWe haven’t had that spirit here since Dnineteen sixty nine”
FAnd still those voices are calling from Cfar away,
DmWake you up in the middle of the night
E7Just to hear them say…
Chorus:
FWelcome to the Hotel CaliCfornia
Such a E7lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a Amlovely face
FPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliCfornia
Any Dmtime of year (Any time of year)
You can E7find it here
AmMirrors on the ceiling,
E7The pink champagne on ice
And she said “GWe are all just prisoners here, oDf our own device”
FAnd in the master’s chambers,
CThey gathered for the feast
DmThey stab it with their steely knives,
But they E7just can’t kill the beast
AmLast thing I remember, I was
E7Running for the door
GI had to find the passage back
To the Dplace I was before
F“Relax, ” said the night man,
“We are Cprogrammed to receive.
DmYou can check-out any time you like,
E7But you can never leave! ”
