Ok, the chords are simple, they're tabbed out here at the start if you need them. The solo is split between two guitar in the original recording and I've put where each guitar is involved and above is their tab. Not much timing was put on the tab either and you have to work out how far some of the bends go. Some of the bends are written like '^' and some are written as 'br'. ^ means you just bend it up and don't bring it back down to the original note, br means bend and release meaning that you do bring it back down. This should be pretty much perfect as it was taken from Guitar Techniques Sept. 2002 so enjoy. Chords Bm: x24432 F#7: 242322 A: x02220 E7: 020100 G: 320003 D/F#: 2x0232 Em: 022000 F#7/C#: x42322 Verse Chords: Bm, F#7, A, E7, G, D/F#, Em, F#7/C# (basically a chord a line) 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 Chorus Chords: G, D/F#, F#7, Bm, G, D/F#, Em, F#7/C# Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place (background) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year Any time of year (background) You can find it here You can find it here Verse Chords: Bm, F#7, A, E7, G, D/F#, Em, F#7/C# 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 Chorus Chords: G, D/F#, F#7, Bm, G, D/F#, Em, F#7/C# Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely Place Such a lovely Place (background) Such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise What a nice surprise (background) Bring your alibies Verse Chords: Bm, F#7, A, E7, G, D/F#, Em, F#7/C# 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 Solo: |------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |------10h12-12^--10-12-------7-------------------7--------------7-------------
