[Am][E][G][D][Eb]
[F][C][Dm][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]On a dark desert highway
[E]Cool wind in my hair
[G]The warm smell of [D]colitas
Rising up through the [Eb]air
[F]Up ahe[F#]ad in the dis[F]tance
[C]I saw a shimmering light
[Dm]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[E]I had to stop for the nig[Am]ht

[Verse 2]
There she [Am]stood in the doorway
[E]I heard the mission bell
[C]And [G]i was thinking to myself
This could be [Dm]heaven or
[Am]this could [Dm]be hell
[F]Then she lit up [C]a candle
And she showed me the [Dm]way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought i [E]heard them [F]say

[Verse 3]
Welcome [F]to the hotel [C]california
Such [E]a lovely place,
[B]such a l[E]ovely fac[Am]e[B]

at the hotel cali[Dm]for n[C#]ia
[C]Any tim[Dm]e of year,

[Verse 4]
[Am]Her mind is definitely twisted
[E]She's got her mercedes benz
[G]She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys
[D]That she calls fri[Dm]ends
[F]How they dance in the courtyard
[C]Sweet summer sweat
[Dm]Some dance to remember
[E]Some dance to forget[Dm]
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]So i called up the captain
[E]Please bring me my wine
He [G]said we haven't had that
spirit here [Dm]since [D]196[F]9
And [C]still those [F]voices
they're calling from [C]far away
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[E]Just to hear them say

[Verse 6]

[C]What a nic[Eb]e surprise,

[Verse 7]
[F]Mirrors on the[Am] cei[E]lling, the
pink champaign on ice
And she [G]said we are all just
prisoners [D]here of our own [Dm]device
[F]In the masters cha[C]mbers they're
[C#]gathered for the [Dm]feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but
they [E]just [F]can't [E]kill the [Am]beast
