Intro: |Bm   |F#7   |Asus2   |E   |G   |D   |Em   |F#7   |: 2x

Verse 1:

Bm                          |F#7                     |
   ON A DARK DESERT HIGHWAY,     COOL WIND IN MY HAIR.
Asus2                       |E                         E9|
      WARM SMELL OF COLITAS,   RISING UP THRU' THE AIR.
G                          |D                         |
  UP AHAED IN THE DISTANCE,   I SAW A SHIMMERING LIGHT.
Em                                         |F#7                            |
   MY HEAD GREW HEAVY AND MY SIGHT GREW DIM,    I HAD TO STOP FOR THE NIGHT.

Verse 2:

Bm                                |F#7                         |
   THERE SHE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY,     I HEARD THE MISSION BELL.
Asus2                                            |E                            E9|
      AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, THIS COULD BE HEAVEN OR THIS COULD BE HELL.
G                          |D                          |
  THEN SHE LIT UP A CANDLE,   AND SHE SHOWED ME THE WAY.
Em                                    |F#                           |
   THERE WERE VOICES DOWN THE CORRIDOR,   I THOUGHT I HEARD THEM SAY:

Chorus:

G                        |D             |F#7                 |Bm         |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
G                               |D          |Em                   |F#7         |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.

Verse 3:

Bm                     |F#7                    |
   HER MIND IS TIFFANY-TWISTED,     SHE GOT THE MERCEDES BENDS.
Asus2                          |E                 E9|
      SHE GOT A LOT OF PRETTY PRETTY BOYS,  THAT SHE CALLS FRIENDS.
G                         |D               |
  HOW THEY DANCE IN THE COURTYARD,   SWEE-T SUMMER SWEAT.
Em                 |F#7               |
   SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER,     SOME DANCE TO FORGET.

Verse 4:

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

Asus2                                       |E                     E9|
      WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT SPIRIT HERE SINCE,   NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.
G                                        |D        |
  AND STILL THOSE VOICES ARE CALLING FROM FAR  AWAY,
Em                                        |F#                      |
   WAKE YOU UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,    JUST TO HEAR THEM SAY:

Chorus:

G                          |D             |F#7                 |Bm         |
  WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
G                               |D          |Em                   |F#7         |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.

Verse 5:

Bm                        |F#7                          |
   MIRRORS ON THE CEILING,     THE PINK CHAMPAGNE ON ICE.
Asus2                                |E                  |
      WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE,   OF OUR OWN DEVICE.
G                                    |D                       |
  AND IN THE MASTER'S CHAMBERS, THEY    GATHERED FOR THE FEAST.
Em                                                |F#7                       |
   THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES, BUT THEY JUST CAN'T  KILL THE BEAST.

Verse 6:

Bm                              |F#7                     |
   LAST THING I REMEMBER  I WAS,     RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.
Asus2                                       |E                  E9|
      I HAD TO FIND THE PASSAGE BACK, TO THE PLACE I WAS BEFORE.
G                                  |D                      |
  RELAX SAID THE NIGHT MAN, WE ARE,   PROGRAMMED TO RECEIVE.
Em                                              |F#7                |
   YOU CAN CHECK OUT ANY TIME YOU LIKE, BUT YOU      CAN NEVER LEAVE.

Outro: |Bm   |F#7   |Asus2   |E   |G   |D   |Em   |F#7   |: 2x
