[Em] [F#]
[Bm] On a dark desert highway, [F#] cool wind in my hair, [E] warm smell of dilithers, rising up [Bm] through
the air.
[G] Up ahead in the distance, [D] I saw a shimmering light.
[Em] My head grew [G] heavy and my
sight grew [F#] dim.
I had to stop for the night.
[Bm] There she stood in the doorway, [F#] heard the
mission bell, [A] and I was thinking to myself, [E] this could be [Bm] heaven and this could be hell.
[G] Then she lit up a candle, [D] and she showed me the way.
[Bm] There were voices down the corridor,
[F#] I thought I heard them say, [G] welcome to the Old Town, [D] California.
[F#] Such a lovely place,
such a lovely [Bm] place.
[G] Plenty of room at the Old Town, [D] California.
[Em] Anytime of year, [F#] you
can find it here.
[Bm] Her name is Tiffany Twisted, [F#] she got the Mercedes Benz.
[A] She got a lot of
pretty, pretty [E] boys.
[Bm] She got friends.
[G] How they dance in the courtyard, [D] sweet summer sweat.
[Bm] Some
dance to remember, [F#] some dance to forget.
[Bm] So I called up the captain, [F#] please bring me my wine.
[A] We haven't had that spirit here [Bm] since 1969.
[G] And still those voices were calling [D] from far away.
[Em] Wake you up in the middle of the [F#] night, just to get this straight.
[G] Welcome to the Old Town,
[D] California.
[F#] Such a lovely place, [Bm] such a lovely place.
[G] They're living it up at the Old Town,
[D] California.
[Em] What a nice surprise, what a nice [F#] surprise.
Bring your alabaster,
[Bm] mirrors on the
ceiling, [F#] pink champagne all night.
And she [A] said, we are all just prisoners [E] here, of our [D] own
device.
[G] And in the master's chambers, [D] gathered for the beast.
[Em] They stab it with their steeling
[F#] knives, but they just can't kill the beast.
[Bm] Last thing I remember, [F#] I was running for the door.
[A] I had to find the passage back [E] to the place I was before.
[G] Relax, say goodnight man, [D] we are programmed to be seen.
[Em] You can check out anytime you [F#] like, but you can [Bm] never
