[INTRO]

[Am] [E7] [G] [D] [F] [C] [Dm] [E7] x 2

[VERSE 1]

[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
[E] I had to stop for the night

[VERSE 2]

[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
[E] I thought I heard them say...

[CHORUS]

[F] Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
Such a [E7]lovely place, (such a lovely place), such a [Am]lovely face
There's [F]plenty of room at the Hotel Cali[C]fornia
Any [Dm]time of year, (any time of year) You can [E]find it here

[VERSE 3]

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

[VERSE 4]

[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] 1969
[F] and still those voices are calling from [C]far away
[Dm] Wake you up in the middle of the night
[E] Just to hear them say...

[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 [E]alibis

[VERSE 5]

[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
[E]just can't kill the beast

[VERSE 6]

[Am] Last thing I remember, I was[E7] running for the door
[G] I had 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
[E] But you can never leave...

[SOLO]

[Am] [E7] (hang) [G] [D] [F] [C] [Dm] [E] x lots
