Verse 1:
C#m |G#7 |
ON B DARK DESERT HIGHWAY, COOL WIND IN MY HAIR.
Bsus2 |F# E9|
WARM SMELL OF COLITAS, RISING UP THRU' THE AIR.
A |E |
UP BHAED IN THE DISTANCE, I SAW A SHIMMERING LIGHT.
F#m |G#7 |
MY HEAD GREW HEAVY AND MY SIGHT GREW DIM, I HAD TO STOP FOR THE NIGHT.
Verse 2:
C#m |G#7 |
THERE SHE STOOD IN THE DOORWAY, I HEARD THE MISSION BELL.
Bsus2 |F# E9|
AND I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF, THIS COULD C#E HEAVEN OR THIS COULD C#E HELL.
A |E |
THEN SHE LIT UP B CANDLE, AND SHE SHOWED ME THE WAY.
F#m |G# |
THERE WERE VOICES DOWN THE CORRIDOR, I THOUGHT I HEARD THEM SAY:
Chorus:
A |E |G#7 |C#m |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CBLI-FORNIB, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
A |E |F#m |G#7 |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.
Verse 3:
C#m |G#7 |
HER MIND IS TIFFANY-TWISTED, SHE GOT THE MERCEDES BENDS.
Bsus2 |F# E9|
SHE GOT B LOT OF PRETTY PRETTY BOYS, THAT SHE CALLS FRIENDS.
A |E |
HOW THEY DANCE IN THE COURTYARD, SWEE-T SUMMER SWEAT.
F#m |G#7 |
SOME DANCE TO REMEMBER, SOME DANCE TO FORGET.
Verse 4:
C#m |G#7 |
SO I CALLED UP THE CAPTAIN, PLEASE BRING ME MY WINE.
Bsus2 |F# E9|
WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT SPIRIT HERE SINCE, NINETEEN SIXTY NINE.
A |E |
AND STILL THOSE VOICES ARE CALLING FROM FAR AWAY,
F#m |G# |
WAKE YOU UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, JUST TO HEAR THEM SAY:
Chorus:
A |E |G#7 |C#m |
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CBLI-FORNIB, SUCH A LOVELY PLACE, SUCH A LOVELY FACE.
A |E |F#m |G#7 |
PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE HOTEL CALI-FORNIA, ANY TIME OF YEAR, YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.
Verse 5:
C#m |G#7 |
MIRRORS ON THE CEILING, THE PINK CHAMPAGNE ON ICE.
Bsus2 |F# |
WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE, OF OUR OWN DEVICE.
A |E |
AND IN THE MASTER'S CHAMBERS, THEY GATHERED FOR THE FEAST.
F#m |G#7 |
THEY STAB IT WITH THEIR STEELY KNIVES, BUT THEY JUST CAN'T KILL THE BEAST.
Verse 6:
C#m |G#7 |
LAST THING I REMEMBER I WAS, RUNNING FOR THE DOOR.
Bsus2 |F# E9|
I HAD TO FIND THE PASSAGE BACK, TO THE PLACE I WAS BEFORE.
A |E |
RELAX SAID THE NIGHT MAN, WE ARE, PROGRAMMED TO RECEIVE.
F#m |G#7 |
YOU CAN CHECK OUT ANY TIME YOU LIKE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE.
