Tabbed by: Jamie (aged 16)


This tab is for 1 guitar only.
it includes: strumming and picking
this is made for guitarists that are desperate to play this awesome song – this is my tab – any thoughts on the solo just send me an email
this can be played with 2 guitars. 1 guitar strums constantly the chords (at bottom) ad the other playing the riff. Enjoy!
             

Intro: 
: 12-String

|-10---------------------8----------------7--------9----9--------------|
|--------------------------------------------------7--7----------------|
This riff is played throughout the song with little variations. It can be played with a capo but if you want to play the chords as well– I suggest no capo and the dreaded thought of barring the 7th fret

Chords and words: 
Intro: Bm F#7 A E9 G D Em7
Bm		
On a dark desert highway
F#7
Cool wind in my hair
A
Warm smell of colitis
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
And I was thinking to myself
E9
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
G
Then she lit up a candle
D
And she showed me the way
Em7
There were voices down the corridor
F#7
I thought I heard them say
G
Welcome to the Hotel California
D
Such a lovely place
	F#7
Such a lovely place (background)
	Bm
Such a lovely face
G			D	
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Em7		F#7
Any time of year
