[C#]
[F#m] On a dark desert highway,
[C#] cool wind in his hair,
[E] Palm smell of colitas
[B] rising up through the air.
[D] Up ahead in the distance,
[A] he saw shimmering light,
[Bm] Said to every hand beside him, [C#] he had to stop for the night.
[F#m] There she stood in a doorway
[C#] with a mission belt,
[E] He was thinking to himself, this [B] could be heaven and this [F#] could be hell.
[D] And she lit up a candle
[A] and she showed him the way.
[Bm] There were voices down the corridor, [C#] he said he heard them say,
[D] Welcome to the Hotel
[A] California, such [C#] a lovely place, [F#m] such a lovely [C#m] place.
[F#m]
[D] Any room at the Hotel
[A] California, [G] any time of year, you can [C#] find it here.
[F#m] Her mind is stiff and it twisted,
[C#] she's a damn Mercedes-Benz,
[E] She met a lot of pretty, pretty [B] boys that she called friends.
[D] How they dance in the moonlight,
[A] sweet summer sweat,
[Bm] Some dance to remember,
[C#] some dance to forget.
[F#m] So he called up the captain,
[C#] please bring me that weed,
[E] Haven't heard that spirit here [B] since 1969.
[D] And still those voices are calling from [A] far away,
[B] Waking [Bm] him up in the middle of the night, [C#] just to hear them say,
[D] Welcome to the Hotel
[A] California, such [C#] a lovely place, [F#m] such a lovely [C#m] place.
[F#m]
[D] We're living it up at the Hotel [A] California,
What a [G#] nice [Bm] surprise, what a nice surprise, [C#] bring your hollywood.
[F#m] Mirrors on the ceiling,
[C#] the big champagne lights,
And she said, [E] we are all just prisoners here [B] of our own divides.
[D] And in the master's chambers,
[A] they guard what for their fiends,
[Bm] They stop it for the [D] stealing knife, [C#] but they just can't kill the fiends.
[F#m] Last thing he remember, [C#] he was running for the door,
[E] He had to find a passage back to [B] the place he was before.
[D] Relaxed at the night, for [A] the approach to receive,
[Bm] You can shake out any time you like, [C#] but you can never leave.
