^BmOn a dark desert highway, ^F#cool wind in my hair ^AWarm smell of colitas, ^Erising through the air ^GUp ahead in the distance, ^DI saw a shimering light ^EmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, ^F#I had to stop for the night ^BmThere she stood in the doorway, ^F#I heard the mission bell ^AAnd I was thinking to myself: this could be ^Eheaven or this could be hell ^GThen she lit up a candle ^Dand she showed me the way ^EmThere were voices down the corridor; ^F#I thought I heard them say: {start_of_chorus} "^GWelcome to the Hotel Califor^Dnia ^F#Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a ^Bmlovely face ^GPlenty of room at the Hotel Califor^Dnia Any ^Emtime of year (any time of year), you can ^F#find it here" {end_of_chorus} ^BmHer mind is Tiffany twisted, ^F#she got the Mercedes Benz ^AShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, ^Ethat she calls friends ^GHow they dance in the courtyard, ^Dsweet summer sweat ^EmSome dance to remember, ^F#some dance to forget ^BmSo I called up the captain, "^F#Please bring me my wine", He said ^A"We haven't had that spirit here since ^Enineteen sixty-nine" ^GAnd still those voices are calling from ^Dfar away ^EmWake you up in the middle of the night, ^F#just to hear them say: "^GWelcome to the Hotel Califor^Dnia ^F#Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a ^Bmlovely face They ^Glivin' it up at the Hotel Califor^Dnia What a ^Emnice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your ^F#alibis" ^BmMirrors on the ceiling, ^F#the pink champagne on ice, and she said "^AWe are all just prisoners here, ^Eof our own device" ^GAnd in the master's chambers, ^Dthey gathered for the feast ^EmThey stab it with their steely knives but they ^F#just can't kill the beast ^BmLast thing I remember, I was ^F#running for the door ^AI had to find the passage back to the ^Eplace I was before "^GRelax," said the night man, "We are ^Dprogrammed to receive ^EmYou can check out any time you like, but ^F#you can never leave" {comment: chorus}
