---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hotel California Live Electric - The Eagles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:Adam Metcalfe Email:atm.8@hotmail.com Tuning:eBGDAE So I looked everywhere for the electric version of this live. I couldn't find it anywhere so I decided I'd try and figure it out on my own. Walsh's part might not be perfect but it's close. I usually just play Felder's part anyway. Keep in mind this is NOT the acoustic version from Hell Freezes Over which has many tabs of it both on UG and other sites. This was tabbed from the version on Eagles Live (1980) and from video of their 1977 Houston concert. There are 3 guitars, they are as follows: 12-string acoustic w/ capo on 2nd fret: Glenn Frey 6 string electric (Fender Telecaster if you care): Joe Walsh Gibson double-neck w/ capo on 7th fret of 12-string neck: Don Felder This part might be wrong but it works. It's heavily palm muted and I assume played by Walsh. Play it several times at the beginning before the main intro starts. But if you are a band learning to play it for yourselves, I recommend disgarding this as starting with the main intro gives a greater wow factor. e ---2--2---| B ---2--2---| G ---3--3---| D ---4--4---| A ----------| E ----------| Intro: Felder 12 string Bm F#7 e 7------------------7---------|-------------9----------------------------| B 7----------7-----------7--7--|-------7------------7---------------------| G 7-----7--------7-------7--9--|-----9----------9------9------------------| D 9---9---9----9---------------|---8----------------8---------------------| A 9----------------------------|----------9-------------------------------| E 7----------------------------|------------------------------------------| Asus2 E9 e --------------7----------------------|----7-----7---------7----7--------| B ----------10-----10------10------10--|------------7------------7--------| G ------9-----------------9-------9----|-------7------7----------7--------| D ---7-----------------7---------------|----------------12------12--------| A -----------------------------7-------|-11-------------------------------| E -------------------------------------|----------------------------------| G D e --------------------7-----------------|----10------10--------10----------| B ------------8----------------8--------|-------7---------7-------7------7-| G -------7--------7-------------------7-|---------7------------------------| D -----9---9----9-----------x----7h9----|-7-------------7--------------7---| A --10-------------------10-------------|--------------------9-------------| E --------------------------------------|---------------------------10-----| Em7 F#7 e -------------------7--------------|-----------------9-------------------| B ------------8----8------------7---|-----------7-------------------------| G -------7----------------7---------|------9-------9----------------------| D -----9---9------------9-----------|----8---8----------------------------| A --7-----------9-------------------|--9----------------------------------| E ---------------------------7------|-------------------------------------| Now Felder repeats that and Walsh comes in Bm F#7 Asus2 E9 e ----------------|-----------------|---------------|------------------o--| B ----------------|-----------------|---------------|----------------o----| G ----------------|-----------------|---------------|--------1-----1------| D ---o-----2---4--|--2------o-------|-------o----2--|----4po-----o--------| A ----------------|--------------4--|---4-----------|--2-------2----------| E ----------------|-----------------|---------------|---------------------| G D Em7 e ----------------|----------------|-----o------------o--------o----------| B ----------------|-------3--------|----o-o--o------o--------o------------| G ----------------|-------2--------|---o---o------2--------4--------------| D ------------o---|-------4--------|------------4--------5----------------| A ---2-----4------|--o----o-----5--|--------------------------------------| E ----------------|--2-------------|-o------------------------------------| F#7 e ------------------2-----------------------------------------------------| B -------o-------o--------------------------------------------------------| G -----3---3---3----------------------------------------------------------| D ---4-------4------------------------------------------------------------| A ------------------------------------------------------------------------| E ------------------------------------------------------------------------| Now we start the verse. Glenn just strums the chords I think, Felder plays the intro once more and Walsh plays a palm muted thing as follows Bm F#7 Asus2 e -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-|-5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-| B -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-|-5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-| G -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-6-6---6-6---6-6---6-6-| D -9-9---9-9---9-9---9-9-|-4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4-|-7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-| A -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| E -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| E9 G D e -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| B -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-| G -7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| D -6-6---6-6---6-6---6-6-|-5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-|-4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4-| A -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| E -----------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------| Em7 F#7 e -3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| B -5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-| G -4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-| D -5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-|-4-4---4-4---4-4---4-4-| A -----------------------|-----------------------| E -----------------------|-----------------------| Then Felder and Walsh split.

Felder does the same but on the 6 string. Walsh plays nothing until this which he plays between "Welcome to the Hotel California" and "such a lovely place" e ------------------------------------------------------------------------| B ----10--10---12----10--12/14----12---10---------------------------------| G ----11--11---12----11--12/14----12---11---------------------------------| D ------------------------------------------------------------------------| A ------------------------------------------------------------------------| E ------------------------------------------------------------------------| then both Walsh and Felder play the lead in to the second part of the chorus e --------------------------------| B --------------------------------| G --------------------------------| D -------------------2---4----5---| A ----2----4----5-----------------| E --------------------------------| then Walsh plays this between "Plenty of room at the Hotel California" and "Any time of year" e ------------------------------------------------| B -----15-------15------15----------------12------| G -----14h16----14h16---14------------7---12--11--| D ----------------------------16\--7--------------| A ------------------------------------------------| E ------------------------------------------------| Felder plays this on the 6 string before going back to the intro F# e -------------------2-------------------------------| B ----------2--------2-------------------------------| G --------3----3-----3-------------------------------| D ------4------4-----4-------------------------------| A --4----------------4-------------------------------| E --2----------------2-------------------------------| then the first half of the second verse is the same as the first part of the first verse then Walsh and Felder split again. Felder on the high note, Walsh on the low.

It's the same as the first part of the intro. Then when it's done this starts. Like the electric part of the verses Walsh is the lower note, Felder is the higher. It is basically the second part of the first verse combined with the second part of the second verse.

Bm On a dark desert highway F#7 Cool wind in my hair A Warm smell of colitas E9 Rising up through the air G Up ahead in the distance D I saw a shimmering light Em7 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim F#7 I had to stop for the night Bm There she stood in the doorway F#7 I heard the mission bell A An' I was thinkin' to myself tis could be E9 Heaven or this could be hell G Then she lit up a candle D An' she showed me the way Em7 There were voices down the corridor F#7 I thought I heard them say Chorus: G D Welcome to the Hotel California F#7 Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Bm Such a lovely face G D Plenty of room at the Hotel California Em7 Any time of year (any time of year) F#7 You can find it here Bm Her mind is Tiffany twisted F#m She got the Mercedes bends A She got a lot of pretty pretty boys E9 That she calls friends G How they dance in the courtyard D Sweet summer sweat Em7 Some dance to remember F#7 Some dance to forget Bm So I called up the captain F#7 Please bring me my wine A He said we havn't had that spirit here since E9 nineteen sixty nine G And still those voices are calling from D Far Away Em7 Wake you up in the middle of the night F#7 Just to here them say Chorus: G D Welcome to the Hotel California F#7 Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) Bm Such a lovely face G D They're livin' it up at the Hotel California Em7 What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) F#7 Bring your alibis Bm Mirrors on the ceiling F#7 The pink champagne on ice an' she said A We are all just prisoners here E9 Of our own device G An' in the master's chambers D They gathered for the feast Em7 They stab it with their Steely knives but they F#7 Just can't kill the beast Bm Last thing I remember I was F#7 Running for the door A I had to find the passage back to the E9 Place I was before G Relax said the night man we are D Programmed to receive Em7 You can check out any time you like F#7 But you can never leave he just does the verse prog through the whole solo.
