Intro: |B minorBm  |F#7F#7  |Asus2Asus2  |E MajorE  |G+G  |D MajorD  |E minorEm  |F#7F#7  |: 2x

Verse 1:

B minorBm             |F#7F#7           |
  ON A augmentedA DARK DESERT HIGHWAY,   COOL WIND IN MY HAIR.
Asus2Asus2            |E MajorE             E9E9|
   WARM SMELL OF COLITAS,  RISING UP THRU' THE AIR.
G+G             |D MajorD             |
 UP AHAED IN THE DISTANCE,  I SAW A augmentedA SHIMMERING LIGHT.
E minorEm                     |F#7F#7              |
  MY HEAD GREW HEAVY AND MY SIGHT GREW DIM,  I HAD TO STOP FOR THE NIGHT.

Verse 2:

B minorBm                |F#7F#7             |
  THERE SHE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY,   I HEARD THE MISSION BELL.
Asus2Asus2                      |E MajorE              E9E9|
   AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, THIS COULD BE HEAVEN OR THIS COULD BE HELL.
G+G             |D MajorD             |
 THEN SHE LIT UP A augmentedA CANDLE,  AND SHE SHOWED ME THE WAY.
E minorEm                  |F#F#              |
  THERE WERE VOICES DOWN THE CORRIDOR,  I THOUGHT I HEARD THEM SAY:

Chorus:

G+G            |D MajorD       |F#7F#7         |B minorBm     |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A augmentedA LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A augmentedA LOVELY FACE.
G+G                |D MajorD     |E minorEm          |F#7F#7     |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.

Verse 3:

B minorBm           |F#7F#7          |
  HER MIND IS TIFFANY-TWISTED,   SHE GOT THE MERCEDES BENDS.
Asus2Asus2             |E MajorE         E9E9|
   SHE GOT A augmentedA LOT OF PRETTY PRETTY BOYS, THAT SHE CALLS FRIENDS.
G+G             |D MajorD        |
 HOW THEY DANCE IN THE COURTYARD,  SWEE-T SUMMER SWEAT.
E minorEm         |F#7F#7        |
  SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER,   SOME DANCE TO FORGET.

Verse 4:

B minorBm              |F#7F#7            |
  SO I CALLED UP THE CAPTAIN,   PLEASE BRING ME MY WINE.

Asus2Asus2                    |E MajorE           E9E9|
   WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT SPIRIT HERE SINCE,  NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.
G+G                    |D MajorD    |
 AND STILL THOSE VOICES ARE CALLING FROM FAR AWAY,
E minorEm                    |F#F#           |
  WAKE YOU UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,  JUST TO HEAR THEM SAY:

Chorus:

G+G             |D MajorD       |F#7F#7         |B minorBm     |
 WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A augmentedA LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A augmentedA LOVELY FACE.
G+G                |D MajorD     |E minorEm          |F#7F#7     |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.

Verse 5:

B minorBm            |F#7F#7             |
  MIRRORS ON THE CEILING,   THE PINK CHAMPAGNE ON ICE.
Asus2Asus2                |E MajorE         |
   WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE,  OF OUR OWN DEVICE.
G+G                  |D MajorD            |
 AND IN THE MASTER'S CHAMBERS, THEY  GATHERED FOR THE FEAST.
E minorEm                        |F#7F#7            |
  THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES, BUT THEY JUST CAN'T KILL THE BEAST.

Verse 6:

B minorBm               |F#7F#7           |
  LAST THING I REMEMBER I WAS,   RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.
Asus2Asus2                    |E MajorE         E9E9|
   I HAD TO FIND THE PASSAGE BACK, TO THE PLACE I WAS BEFORE.
G+G                 |D MajorD           |
 RELAX SAID THE NIGHT MAN, WE ARE,  PROGRAMMED TO RECEIVE.
E minorEm                       |F#7F#7        |
  YOU CAN CHECK OUT ANY TIME YOU LIKE, BUT YOU   CAN NEVER LEAVE.
