Verse 1

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] On a dark desert highway,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] cool wind in my hair

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] Warm smell of colitas

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] rising up through to air

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] Up ahead in the distance,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] I saw a shimmering light

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I had to stop for the night

Verse 2

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] there she stood in the doorway;

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I heard the mission bell

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] or this could be hell

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] Then she lit up a candle,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] and she showed me the way

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] There were voices down the corridor,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I thought I heard them say

Chorus

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] Welcome to the Hotel Cali-

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] fornia

Such a

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] lovely place, such a

[A7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Unison] lovely face

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] Plenty of room at the

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] hotel California

Any

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] time of year, you can

[A7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7) on the Perfect Unison] find it here

Verse 3

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] Her mind is Tiffany twisted,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] she got a Mercedes Benz

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] that she calls friends

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] How they dance in the courtyard,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] sweet summer sweat

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] Some dance to remember,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] some dance to forget

Verse 4

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] So I called up the captain,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] "Please bring me my wine"

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] "We haven't had that spirit here since

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] nineteen sixty-nine"

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] And still those voices are

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] calling from far away

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] Wake you up in the middle of the night,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] just to hear them say

Repeat Chorus
Verse 5

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] Mirrors on the ceiling,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] the pink champagne on ice

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] And she said "We are still just prisoners here,

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] of our own device

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] And in the master's chambers,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] they gathered for the feast

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] They stab it with their steely knives,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] but they just can't kill the beast

Verse 6

[DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Fourth] Last thing I remember,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] I was runing for the door

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Third] I had to find the passage back

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] to the place I was before

[B♭Major Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Second] "Relax" said the nightman,

[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Sixth] "We are programmed to receive"

[GmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] "You can check out anytime you like,

[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] but you can never leave"

Repeat Chorus
[Bflat][F][Gm][A]
