Em H7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
D A
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
C G
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Am H7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night
Em H7
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
D A
And I was thinking to myself, this could be heaven or this could be hell
C G
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
Am H7
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
CHORUS:
C G
Welcome to the Hotel California.
H7 Em
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
C G
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
H7 Em
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here...
VERSE:
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, She got a mercedes bends*
She got alot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
How they danced in the court yard 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 nineteen sixtynine
and still those voice are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
CHORUS:
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here...
VERSE:
Mirrors on the ceiling; the pink champagne on ice (an 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 find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the night man; we are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...
SOLO
*It says in the lyrics that it is "Bends", but thats just a miss-spelling of "Benz".
This is actually a half decent tab if you want to use the guitar on the 7th fret for the intro solo and just keep it there. The H7 is really B7, and the chords above 'Anytime of year,(anytime of year) You can find us here...' are wrong, should be Am, then B7
Use this progression for intro and verses:
Am E7 G D F C Dm E7
and for Chorus:
F C Dm E7 F C Dm E7
There is no B7 in it that I can find, and the chord you have tabbed as E7 would in reality be a B7. Just a little reccomend from a 54 years experience guitar player who learns something new every time I pick up the guitar. :^)
