[am]On a dark desert highway, [E]cool wind in my hair,
|
|
[G]warm smell of colitas [D]rising up to 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; [E]I heard the mission bell.
|
|
[G]I was thinking to myself: this could be [D]heaven and this could be hell.
|
|
[F]Then she lit up a candle, [C]and she showed me the way.
|
|
[dm]There were voices in the corridor, [E]I thought I heard them say:
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
[F]"Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia. Such a [E]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 [E]find it here."
|
|
{eoc}
|
|
|
|
[am]Her mind is Tiffany twisted. [E]She got the Mercedes-Benz.
|
|
[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [D]that 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: [E]"Please bring me my wine" (He said)
|
|
[G]"We haven't had that spirit here since [D]nineteensixtynine."
|
|
[F]And still those voices are calling from [C]far away;
|
|
[dm]wake up in the middle of the night [E]just to hear them say:
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
[F]"Welcome to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia. What a [E]lovely place, (such a lovely place) such a [am]lovely face.
|
|
They [F]livin'it up to the Hotel Cali[C]fornia. What a [dm]nice surprise; (what a nice surprise), bring your [E]alibis."
|
|
{eoc}
|
|
|
|
[am]Mirrors on the ceiling, [E]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 gatherd 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 [E]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, but [E]you can never leave."
