1. On a dark desert [Bm] highway [Gb]
Cool wind in my hair [A]
Warm smell of co-[Esus4] litas [Em]
Rising up through the [Bm] air [G]
Up ahead in the [D] distance [A]
I saw a shimmering [D] light [Em]
My head grew heavy, and my [Bm] sight grew dim [Gbm]
I had to stop for the [Dbm] night. [Bm]

There she stood in the [Bm/Gb] doorway [Bm/Gb]
I heard the mission bell [A]
And I was thin-[A/E] king to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell [G]
Then she lit up a [D] candle [D]
And she showed me the way [Em]
There were voices down the [Bm] corridor [Gb]
I thought I heard them say. [G]

Chorus:
Welcome to the Hotel Cali-[D] fornia [D/A]
Such a [D] lovely place
Such a [Gb] lovely place (background)
Such a [Bm] lovely face [D]
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-[D] fornia [D/A]
Any [Em/B] time of year
Any [Em] time of year (background)
You can [Gb] find it here [Gb/Db] |[Bm]

Her mind is Tiffany [Gb] twisted [Gb]
She's got the Mercedes bends [A]
She's got a lot of pretty, [A/E] pretty boys [A/E]
That she calls [E] friends [G]
How they dance in the [D] courtyard
Sweet summer sweat [Em]
Some dance to [Bm] remember [Gb]
Some dance to [Gb/Db] forget. [Bm]

So I called up the [Bm/Gb] Captain [Bm/Gb]
Please bring me my wine
He said
[A] We haven't had that [E/B] spirit here since 1969 [G]
And still those [G/D] voices are calling from far away [Em]
Wake you up in the [Bsus4] middle of the night [Gb]
Just to hear them say. [G]

Chorus:
Welcome to the Hotel Cali-[D] fornia [D/A]
Such a [D] lovely place
Such a [Gb] lovely place (background)
Such a [Bm] lovely face [D]
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-[D] fornia [D/A]
What a [Em] nice surprise (what a [Em/B] nice surprise)
Bring your [Gbm] alibis [Bm]

Coda:
Mirrors on the ceiling [Gb]
Pink champagne on ice
And she said [Asus4]
We are all [A] just prisoners here [E]
Of our own device [G]
And in the master's chambers [D]
They gathered for the feast [Em]
They stab it with their steely knives
But they [Gb] just can't kill the beast [Bm]
Last thing I [Gbm] remember
I was running for the door [A]
I had to find the [E] passage back to the place I was before [G]
Relax said the [G/D] nightman
We are programed to recieve [Em]
You can check out any [Em/B] time you like [Gb]
But you can never leave.
