HOTEL CALIFORNIA
 Music by Don Felder & Joe Walsh
 Words by Don Henley & Glenn Frey
 Eagles
 Hotel California
 1976
 Roberto Luna sent this one my way a couple of months back.  I rewrote it to
 make it easier to read, so I hope it helps.  Good luck, and I hope everyone
 is able to play it by the end of the year!
 
 
 "I had just leased this house out on the beach at Malibu,
 I guess it was around '74 or '75.  I remember sitting in the living 
 room, with all the doors wide open on a spectacular July day.
 I had this acoustic 12-string and I started tinkling around with
 it, and those "Hotel California" chords just kind of oozed out.
 Every once in a while it seems like the cosmos parts and something
 great just plops in your lap."
                                -- Don Felder
 
 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This first part is the intro. It is repeated throughout the song
 (except during the chorus).
 
 GUITAR 1 (12-string electric, capo on 7th fret)
 A 7 means open string, so it is easier to read.
 These are easier if you realize that the chords they outline are:
 Em	B7	Dsus2	E9	C	G	Am7	B7

 In all, Don Felder, Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey managed to fit eight different
 guitars in for this song. GUITAR 3 plays the cool "chicka" chords you hear
 during the verses.  Listen closely and you can pick this part out.  Use
 fret-hand muting on the following chords to get the percussive sound.  In
 other words, don't push the strings down on the fretboard, just touch the
 strings so they can't vibrate much.  In addition, palm-mute them to give a
 sharper sound.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 GUITARS 4 and 5 (distorted electrics) play chord tones in 3rds
 during the verses.  GUITAR 4 plays upper voicing, GUITAR 5 plays
 the lower voicing.  All the while, the 12-string continues
 playing the intro chords.

 This is the chorus.  GUITAR 1 strums the following chords
 (instead of picking them):
 C	G	B7	Em
 C	G	Am	B7
 GUITAR 4 & 5 play the following bit:

      Hotel California

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Now, here's the reason for so many guitars.  On the "So I called up the Captain"
 verse, GUITAR 4 & 5 repeat the part from the last verse, while GUITAR 7 & 8
 (distorted electrics) introduce this "answer" harmony.  The 12-string is (still)
 playing the verse chords.
 
      So I called up the Captain

 GUITAR 4 & 5 have a new chorus thing,
 GUITAR 1 plays chorus chords.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The rest of the song repeats parts I've already tabbed.  If you've 
 got the tape or CD, I suggest you listen to it while looking
 at the tab to find these parts. Now the solos.  These are tough,
 so practice a lot and look at the rhythm I have laid out so you
 can get a feel for how it's supposed to sound.

 Since the top 3 strings are the only ones used for the final riff,
 that's all I'll show in the tab. Both parts will be shown, GUITAR 8
 plays high, GUITAR 7 plays low.

 Here are the lyrics:
 
  On a dark desert highway
  Cool wind in my hair
  Warm smell of colitas
  Rising up through the air
  Up ahead in the distance
  I saw a shimmering light
  My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
  I had to stop for the night
  There she stood in the doorway
  I heard the mission bell
  And I was thinking 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
 
  Welcome to the Hotel California
  Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
  Such a lovely face
  Plenty of room at the Hotel California
  Any time of year (any time of year)
  You can find it here
  You can find it here
 
  Her mind is Tiffany twisted
  She's got the Mercedes bends
  She's 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
 
  Welcome to the Hotel California
  Such a lovely Place (such a lovely place)
  Such a lovely face
  They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
  What a nice surprise  (what a nice surprise)
  Bring your alibies
 
  Mirrors on the ceiling
  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 I remember
  I was running for the door
  I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
  Relax said the nightman
  We are programed to recieve
  You can check out any time you like
  But you can never leave
