Intro:
Am
On a dark desert highway
E7
cool wind in my hair
G
Warm smell of colitas
D
rising up through the air
F
Up ahead in the distance
C
I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7
I had to stop for the night
Am
There she stood in the doorway
E7
I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself this could be
D
heaven or this could be hell
F
Then she lit up a candle
C
and she showed me the way
Dm
There were voices down the corridor
E7
I thought I heard them say
F

C

Such a
Dm
lovely place such a
Am
lovely face
F
Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali-
C
fornia
Any
Dm
time of year you can

Am
Her mind is Tiffany twisted
E7
she got the Mercedes bends
G
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys
D
that she calls friends
F
How they dance in the courtyard
C
sweet summer sweat
Dm
Some dance to remember
E7
some dance to forget
Am
So I called up the captain
E7
please bring me my wine
He said
G
we haven't had that spirit here since
D
1969
F
And still those voices are calling from
C
far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7
just to hear them say
F

Am
Mirrors on the ceiling
E7
the pink champagne on ice
And she said
G
we are all just prisoners here
D
of our own device
F
And in the master's chambers
C
they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7
just can't kill the beast
Am
Last thing I remember I was
E7
running for the door
G
I had to find the passage back to the
D
place I was before
F
Relax said the nightman we are
C
programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out anytime you like
E7
but you can never leave
