Bm F#7 Asus2E G D Em F#7
Intro: | | | | | | | | |: 2x
Verse 1:
Bm F#7
| |
ON A DARK DESERT HIGHWAY, COOL WIND IN MY HAIR.
Asus2 E E9
| |
WARM SMELL OF COLITAS, RISING UP THRU' THE AIR.
G D
| |
UP AHAED IN THE DISTANCE, I SAW A SHIMMERING LIGHT.
Em F#7
| |
MY HEAD GREW HEAVY AND MY SIGHT GREW DIM, I HAD TO STOP FOR THE NIGHT.
Verse 2:
Bm F#7
| |
THERE SHE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY, I HEARD THE MISSION BELL.
Asus2 E E9
| |
AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, THIS COULD BE HEAVEN OR THIS COULD BE HELL.
G D
| |
THEN SHE LIT UP A CANDLE, AND SHE SHOWED ME THE WAY.
Em F#
| |
THERE WERE VOICES DOWN THE CORRIDOR, I THOUGHT I HEARD THEM SAY:
Chorus:
G D F#7 Bm
| | | |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
G D Em F#7
| | | |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.
Verse 3:
Bm F#7
| |
HER MIND IS TIFFANY-TWISTED, SHE GOT THE MERCEDES BENDS.
Asus2 E E9
| |
SHE GOT A LOT OF PRETTY PRETTY BOYS, THAT SHE CALLS FRIENDS.
G D
| |
HOW THEY DANCE IN THE COURTYARD, SWEE-T SUMMER SWEAT.
Em F#7
| |
SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER, SOME DANCE TO FORGET.
Verse 4:
Bm F#7
| |
SO I CALLED UP THE CAPTAIN, PLEASE BRING ME MY WINE.
Asus2 E E9
| |
WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT SPIRIT HERE SINCE, NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.
G D
| |
AND STILL THOSE VOICES ARE CALLING FROM FAR AWAY,
Em F#
| |
WAKE YOU UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, JUST TO HEAR THEM SAY:
Chorus:
G D F#7 Bm
| | | |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
G D Em F#7
| | | |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.
Verse 5:
Bm F#7
| |
MIRRORS ON THE CEILING, THE PINK CHAMPAGNE ON ICE.
Asus2 E
| |
WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE, OF OUR OWN DEVICE.
G D
| |
AND IN THE MASTER'S CHAMBERS, THEY GATHERED FOR THE FEAST.
Em F#7
| |
THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES, BUT THEY JUST CAN'T KILL THE BEAST.
Verse 6:
Bm F#7
| |
LAST THING I REMEMBER I WAS, RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.
Asus2 E E9
| |
I HAD TO FIND THE PASSAGE BACK, TO THE PLACE I WAS BEFORE.
G D
| |
RELAX SAID THE NIGHT MAN, WE ARE, PROGRAMMED TO RECEIVE.
Em F#7
| |
YOU CAN CHECK OUT ANY TIME YOU LIKE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE.
Bm F#7 Asus2E G D Em F#7
Outro: | | | | | | | | |: 2x
