Bm F# A E

G D Em F#

Bm F# A E

G D Em F#

Bm On a dark desert highway,

F# 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

Em My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

F# I had to stop for the night

Bm There she stood in the doorway

F# I heard the mission bell

A And I was thinking to myself

"This could be EHeaven or this could be Hell"

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

Em There were voices down the corridor

F# I thought I heard them say

G Welcome to the Hotel CalifDornia

Such a F#lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a Bmlovely face

GPlenty of room at the Hotel CalifDornia

Any Emtime of year (Any time of year)

You can F#find it here

Bm Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,

F# she got the Mercedes bends

G She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

E she calls friends

G How they dance in the courtyard,

Dsweet summer sweat

Em Some dance to remember,

F# some dance to forget

Bm So I called up the Captain

F# ”Please bring me my wine."

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

G And still those voices are calling from Dfar away

Em Wake you up in the middle of the night

F# Just to hear them say

G Welcome to the Hotel CalifDornia

Such a F#lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a Bmlovely face

They Glivin' it up at the Hotel CalifDornia

What a Emnice surprise (what a nice surprise)

Bring your F#alibis

Bm Mirrors on the ceiling

F# The pink champagne on ice

And she said "AWe are all 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 F#just can't kill the beast

Bm Last thing I remember

I was F# running for the door

A I had to find the passage back to the Eplace I was before

G "Relax," said the night man

D "We are programmed to receive

Em You can check-out any time you like

F# But you can never leave!"
