{comment: Verse}
[Am]On a dark desert highway,
[E7] cool wind in my hair
[G]Warm smell of colitas
[D]rising up through the air
[F]Up ahead in the distance,
[C]I saw a shimmering light
[Dm]My head grew heavy   and my sight grew dim
[E]I had to stop for the night

[Am]There she stood in the doorway,
[E7] I heard the mission bell
[G]I was thinking to myself
This could be [D]heaven or this could be hell
[F]Then she lit up a candle,
[C]and she showed me the way
[Dm]There were voices down the corridor,
[E]I thought I heard them say... 
{chorus}
	[F]Welcome to the Hotel Califo[C]rnia.
	Such a lo[E7]vely place, (such a lovely place),
	such a lovely fa[Am]ce
	[F]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califo[C]rnia
	Any ti[Dm]me of year, (any time of year)
	You can fi[E]nd it here
{/chorus}
{comment: Verse}
[Am]Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
[E7] she got the Mercedes bends
[G]She got a lot of pretty-pretty boys
[D]she calls friends
[F]How they danced in the courtyard,
[C]sweet summer sweat
[Dm]Some dance to remember,
[E]some dance to forget

[Am]So I called up the captain,
[E7] please bring me my wine (he said)
[G]We haven't had that spirit here since
[D]1969
[F]and still those voices are calling from
[C]fa - ar away
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[E]Just to hear them say...
{chorus}
	Welcome to the Hotel California.
	Such a lo[E7]vely place, (such a lovely place),
	such a lovely fa[Am]ce
	[F]They're livin' it up at the Hotel Califo[C]rnia
	What a ni[Dm]ce surprise, (what a nice surprise)
	Bring your a[E]libis
{/chorus}
{comment: Verse}
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling;
[E7]the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
[G]We are all just prisoners here,
[D]of our own device
[F]and in the master's chambers,
[C]they gathered for the feast
[Dm]They stab it with their steely knives but they
[E]just can't kill the beast

[Am]Last thing I remember, I was
[E7]running for the door
[G]I had to find the passage back 
to the [D]place I was before
[F]"Relax" said the night man;
[C]we are programmed to receive
[Dm]You can check out any time you like
[E]But you can never leave...
