Capo 2
[Intro]
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 x2
[Verse]
Am E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
G D
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
F C
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Dm
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E7
I had to stop for the night
Am E7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
G
And I was thinking to myself
D
This could be heaven or this could be hell
F C
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Dm
There were voices down the corridor,
E7
I thought I heard them say...
[Chorus]
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7 Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F C
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Dm E7
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here
[Verse]
Am E7
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
G D
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends
F C
How they danced in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Dm E7
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Am E7
So I called up the captain; Please bring me my wine (he said)
G D
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
F C
and still those voices are calling from far away
Dm
Wake you up in the middle of the night
E7
Just to hear them say...
[Chorus]
F C
Welcome to the Hotel California.
E7 Am
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
F C
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
Dm E7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
[Verse]
Am E7
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (and she said)
G D
We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
F C
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Dm
They stab it with their steely knives but they
E7
just can't kill the beast
Am E7
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
G D
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
F C
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
Dm
You can check out any time you like
E7
But you can never leave...
[Outro Solo]
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 x3
[Harmonies]
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7 x2

supposed to be capo'd on 2 fret...I forgot to add that too..sorry
+205

me and my typos.. the D chord is
000232
+161

This is a quality tab. in some live versions, the 12 string plays it almost exactly like this- with a capo on the 2nd fret. good tab.
