Intro:
[Bm] [F#7] [A] [E] [G] [D] [Em] [F#7]
[Bm] [F#7] [A] [E] [G] [D] [Em] [F#7]

On a [Bm] dark desert highway, [F#7] cool wind in my hair
[A] Warm smell of colitas, [E] rising up through the air
[G] Up ahead in the distance, [D] I saw a shimmering light
My [Em] head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[F#7] I had to stop for the night

There she [Bm] stood in the doorway, [F#7] I heard the mission bell
And [A] I was thinking to myself, “This could be [E] Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she [G] lit up a candle [D] and she showed me the way
There were [Em] voices down the corridor, [F#7] I thought I heard them say

[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali [D] fornia
Such a [F#7] lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a [Bm] lovely face
[G] Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali [D] fornia
Any [Em] time of year (any time of year)
You can [F#7] find it here

Her [Bm] mind is Tiffany-twisted, [F#7] she got the Mercedes bends
She [A] got a lot of pretty, pretty boys [E] she calls friends
How they [G] dance in the courtyard, [D] sweet summer sweat
[Em] Some dance to remember, [F#7] some dance to forget

So I [Bm] called up the Captain, [F#7] “Please bring me my wine”
He said, [A] “We haven’t had that spirit here since [E] nineteen sixty nine”
And [G] still those voices are calling from [D] far away
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#7] just to hear them say

[G] Welcome to the Hotel Cali [D] fornia
Such a [F#7] lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a [Bm] lovely face
They [G] livin’ it up at the Hotel Cali [D] fornia
What a [Em] nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your [F#7] alibis

[Bm] Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#7] the pink champagne on ice
And she said, [A] “We are all just prisoners here, [E] of our own device”
And [G] in the master’s chambers, [D] they gathered for the feast
They [Em] stab it with their steely knives, but they [F#7] just can’t kill the beast

[Bm] Last thing I remember, I was [F#7] running for the door
I [A] had to find the passage back to the [E] place I was before
[G] “Relax,” said the night man, “We are [D] programmed to receive
You can [Em] check-out any time you like, but you [F#7] can never leave!”
