DDDDU (x2)
D D U UD DUDU
[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] 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
[D] "This could be heaven or this could be hell"
[F] Then she lit up a candle
[C] She showed me the way
[Dm] There were voices down the corridor
[E7] Thought I heard 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] There's plenty of room at the Hotel Cali- [C] fornia
Any [Dm] time of year (any time of
year), oh, you can [E7] find it here
[Am] Her mind is Tiffany twisted
[E7] She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
[G] She got a lot of pretty-pretty boys
[D] Who 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 1969"
[D] And still those voices are calling from far away
[F] Wake you up in the middle of the night
[C] Just to hear them say
[Dm] Welcome to the Hotel Cali- [C] fornia
Such a [E7] lovely place (such a
lovely place), such a [Am] lovely face
[F] We're living it up at the Hotel Cali- [C] fornia
Oh, what a [Dm] nice surprise (what a
nice surprise), bring your [E7] alibis
[Am] Mirrors on the ceiling
[E7] With pink champagne on ice, and she said
[G] "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
[D] And in the master's chambers
[F] They gathered for the feast
[C] Stab it with their steely knives
[Dm] But they just can't kill the beast
[E7] Last thing I remember
[Am] I was running for the door
[E7] Had to find the passage back to the place I was before
[G] "Relax", said the night man
[D] "We are programmed to receive"
[F] You can check out any time you
like, [C] but you can never leave
