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
E7
I had to stop for the night
Am
There she stood in the doorway,
E7
I heard the mission bell
G
And 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,
E7
I thought I heard them say…
CHORUS
F
Welcome to the Hotel Cali
C
fornia.
Such a
E7
lovely place (such a lovely place), such a
Am
lovely
face
F
Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali
C
fornia
Any
Dm
time of year (any time of year), you can
E7
find it here
VERSE
Am
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
E7
she got the Mercedes Benz
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,
E7
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
far
away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7
Just to hear them say…
CHORUS
F
Welcome to the Hotel Cali
C

Such a
E7
lovely place (such a lovely place), such a
Am
lovely
face
F
They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel Cali
C
fornia
What a
Dm
nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your
E7
alibis
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
E7
just can’t kill the beast
Am
Last thing I remember,
E7
I was 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; we are
C
programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out any time you like
E7
But you can never leave…
