Hotel California Live Electric - The Eagles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Adam Metcalfe

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. One of these days
I'll do a video tutorial to better explain what all is
going on here in the tab. Walsh's part might not be perfect
but it's close. 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),
from video of their 1977 Houston concert, and the music video.
You'll have to listen to the song to get the note values and
timing, this tab is tedious enough without worrying about them
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
*If you watch the video Frey has a capo on the second fret,
but his chord fingerings are as they would be in standard
tuning. I think he just has the guitar tuned down a step
and uses the capo to bring it to "standard" which was a
common thing to do with older 12-strings. Anyways, in the
video from the Hotel California tour he has a capo; ignore it.
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.

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

Then Felder and Walsh split. Felder on the high note, Walsh on the low.

Felder only plays this part:

G|----------------------------|

A|-----------2--4--5----------|
E|---2---6--------------------|
[Chorus]
Glenn again just strums the chords. 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--------------|

Felder plays this on the 6 string before going back to the intro

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.

Second chorus:
Again Glenn strums the chords. Walsh plays the chords while Felder
doesn't play until this between "Welcome to the Hotel California" and
"such a lovely place"

G|-----x-------pb11r9--7------9b10--------------------------|

Felder plays this between "They're livin' it up at the Hotel California" and
"What a nice surprise"
e|-----17b19---x-x-------------------------------------------|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
Now comes the breakdown. 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.

Now the solo; as I've said, Walsh's solo isn't perfect but it's
as close as I can get. Felder plays first, then Walsh.

the 6-string during it.

Here's Glenn's part as best as I can give you for the verses and chorus'.
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.
