On
Bm
a dark desert highway, cool
F#
wind in my hair
Warm
A
smell of colitas, risin
E
g up through the air
Up
G
ahead in the distance, I
D
saw a shimmering light
My
Em
head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I
F#
had to stop for the night
There
Bm
she stood in the doorway;
I h
F#
eard the mission bell
And
A
I was thinking to myself,
“This could be Heav
E
en or this could be Hell”
Then
G
she lit up a candle
and
D
she showed me the way
There
Em
were voices down the corridor,
I tho
F#
ught I heard them say…
Welco
G
me to the Hotel Californ
D
ia
Such a lovel
Em
y place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovel
Bm
y
face
Plenty
G
of room at the Hotel Californ
D
ia
Any time
Em
of year (Any time of year)
You can find
F#
it
here
Her
Bm
mind is Tiffany-twisted,
She
F#
got the Mercedes bends
She
A
got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
She
E
calls
friends
How
G
they dance in the courtyard,
Sweet
D
summer
sweat.
Some
Em
dance to remember,
Some
F#
dance to forget
So
Bm
I called up the Captain,
“Please
F#
bring me my wine” He said,
“We
A
haven’t had that spirit here since
nine
E
teen sixty nine”
And
G
still those voices are calling from far
D
away,
Wake
Em
you up in the middle of the night
Just
F#
to hear them say…
Welco
G
me to the Hotel Californ
D
ia
Such a love
Em
ly place (Such a lovely place)
Such a love
Bm

They

What a nice
Em
surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alib
F#

Mirr
Bm
ors on the ceiling,
The
F#
pink champagne on ice And she said
“We
A
are all just prisoners here, of
E
our own device”
And
G
in the master’s chambers,
They
D
gathered for the feast
They stab
Em
it with their steely knives,
But they just
F#
can’t kill the beast
Last
Bm
thing I remember, I was
Runni
F#
ng for the door
I h
A
ad to find the passage back
To the place
E
I was before
“Relax
G
, ” said the night man,
“We are
D
programmed to receive.
You
Em
can check-out any time you like,
But
F#
you can never leave! ”
