BmOn a dark desert F#highway, cool wind in my Ahair
EWarm smell of colitas, Grising up through the Dair
EmUp ahead in the distance, I F#saw a shimmering light
BmMy head grew heavy and my F#sight grew dim
I had to Astop for the Enight
GThere she stood in the doorDway, I heard the mission Embell
And I was F#thinking to myself this could be Bmheaven or this could be F#hell
AThen she lit up a candle and she Eshowed me the way
GThere were voices down the corridor DI thought I heard them Emsay F#
GWelcome to the HoDtel CaliF#fornia
Such a Bmlovely place, such a Glovely face
DPlenty of room at the HoAtel CaliF#fornia
Any Bmtime of year you can Emfind it F#here
BmHer mind is Tiffany-F#twisted, she got the MerAcedes Benz
EShe got a lot of pretty, Gpretty boys that she calls Dfriends
EmHow they dance in the courtF#yard, sweet summer sweat
BmSome dance to reF#member, some dance to forAget E
GSo I called up the capDtain please bring me my Emwine
He said F#we haven't had that spirit Bmhere since nineteen sixty F#nine
AAnd still those voices are calling from Efar away
GWake you up in the middle of the Dnight just to hear them Emsay F#
GWelcome to the HoDtel CaliF#fornia
Such a Bmlovely place, such a Glovely face
DThey livin' it up at the HoAtel CaliF#fornia
What a Bmnice surprise, bring your EmaliF#bis
BmMirrors on the ceiling, the F#pink champagne on Aice
EAnd she said we are all just Gprisoners here of our own deDvice
EmAnd in the master's chamF#bers, they gathered for the feast
BmThey stab it with their steely F#knives but they just can't Akill the Ebeast
GLast thing I reDmember I was Emrunning for the door
F#I had to find the passage back to the Bmplace I was beF#fore
ARelax said the night man we are Eprogrammed to reGceive
You can Dcheck out any time you like but you can Emnever F#leave
