C G Am7 B7

Em B7 Dsus2 A9

C G Am7 B7

Em On a dark desert highway,

B7 cool wind in my hair

Dsus2 Warm smell of colitas,

A9 rising up through the air

C Up ahead in the distance,

G I saw a shimmering light

Am7 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

B7 I had to stop for the night

Em There she stood in the doorway

B7 I heard the mission bell

Dsus2 And I was thinking to myself

"This could be A9Heaven or this could be Hell"

C Then she lit up a candle G and she showed me the way

Am7 There were voices down the corridor

B7 I thought I heard them say

C Welcome to the Hotel CalifGornia

Such a B7lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a Emlovely face

CPlenty of room at the Hotel CalifGornia

Any Amtime of year (Any time of year)

You can B7find it here

Em Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,

B7 she got the Mercedes bends

C She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

A9 she calls friends

C How they dance in the courtyard,

Gsweet summer sweat

Am7 Some dance to remember,

B7 some dance to forget

Em So I called up the Captain

B7 ”Please bring me my wine."

He said, Dsus2 "We haven't had that spirit here since A9 nineteen sixty nine."

C And still those voices are calling from Gfar away

Am7 Wake you up in the middle of the night

B7 Just to hear them say

C Welcome to the Hotel CalifGornia

Such a B7lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a Emlovely face

They Clivin' it up at the Hotel CalifGornia

What a Amnice surprise (what a nice surprise)

Bring your B7alibis

Em Mirrors on the ceiling

B7 The pink champagne on ice

And she said "Dsus2We are all just prisoners here, A9 of our own device"

C And in the master's chambers

G They gathered for the feast

Am7 They stab it with their steely knives

But they B7just can't kill the beast

Em Last thing I remember

I was B7 running for the door

Dsus2 I had to find the passage back to the A9place I was before

C "Relax," said the night man

G "We are programmed to receive

Am7 You can check-out any time you like

B7 But you can never leave!"
