    [Tabs: No capo] 


    Verse 1
    On 
    dark 
    desert 
    highway 

    Cool 
    wind 
    in 
    my 
    hair 

    Warm 
    smell 
    of 
    colitas 

    Rising 
    up 
    through 
    the 
    air 

    Up 
    ahead 
    in 
    the 
    distance 

    saw 
    shimmering 
    light 

    My 
    head 
    grew 
    heavy 
    and 
    my 
    sight 
    grew 
    dim 

    had 
    to 
    stop 
    for 
    the 
    night 

    There she stood in the doorway 

    I heard the mission bell 

    And I was thinkin' to myself 

    This could be 
    heaven or this could be hell 

    Then she lit up a candle 

    And she showed me the way 

    There were voices down the corridor 

    I thought I heard them say 

    Chorus 1
    Welcome to the Hotel Cali
    for
    nia 

    Such a 
    lovely 
    place 
    (such 
    lovely 
    place) 

    Such 
    lovely 
    face 

    Plenty of room at the Hotel Cali
    for
    nia 

    Any
    time 
    of 
    year 
    (any 
    time 
    of 
    year) 

    You 
    can 
    find 
    it 
    here 

    Verse 2
    Her mind is Tiffany-twisted 

    She got the Mercedes bends, uh 

    She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys 

    That she calls friends 

    How they dance in the courtyard 

    Sweet summer sweat 

    Some dance to remember 

    Some dance to forget 

    So I called up the Captain 

    "Please bring me my wine" 

    He said, 

    "We 
    haven't 
    had 
    that 
    spirit 
    here 
    since 

    1969" 

    And 
    still 
    those 
    voices 
    are 
    calling 
    from 

    far 
    away 

    Wake 
    you 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    the 
    night 

    Just 
    to 
    hear 
    them 
    say, 
    eh 

    Chorus 2
    Welcome 
    to 
    the 
    Hotel 
    Cali
    for
    nia 

    Such a 
    lovely 
    place 
    (such 
    lovely 
    place) 

    Such 
    lovely 
    face 

    They 
    livin' 
    it 
    up 
    at 
    the 
    Hotel 
    Ca
    li
    for
    nia 

    What a 
    nice 
    surprise 
    (what 
    nice 
    surprise) 

    Bring 
    your 
    alibis 

    Verse 3
    Mirrors 
    on 
    the 
    ceiling 

    The 
    pink 
    champagne 
    on 
    ice 

    And 
    she 
    said, 

    "We 
    are 
    all 
    just 
    prisoners 
    here 

    of 
    our 
    own 
    device" 

    And 
    in 
    the 
    master's 
    chambers 

    They 
    gathered 
    for 
    the 
    feast 

    They 
    stab 
    it 
    with 
    their 
    steely 
    knives 

    But 
    they 
    just 
    can't 
    kill 
    the 
    beast 

    Last 
    thing 
    remember 

    I was 
    running 
    for 
    the 
    door 

    had 
    to 
    find 
    the 
    passage 
    back 

    To 
    the 
    place 
    was 
    before 

    "Relax", 
    said 
    the 
    night 
    man 

    "We 
    are 
    programmed 
    to 
    receive 

    You 
    can 
    check 
    out 
    any 
    time 
    you 
    like 

    But you can never leave 

    Outro 1

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
