I know this has probably been done to death, but if anyone has the
tab and/or chords for Hotel California, I'd be really grateful if they
could e-mail them to me.

Here it is in "tabpro" format. I also include the PostScript version
generated by chord V1.2.

Mario Dorion - Sun Montreal

intr:  Bm / F# / A / E / G / D / Em / F# /  (2X)

Bm                        F#                   
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A                      E                         
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
G                         D                       
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimering light
Em                                        F#                          
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night

Bm                              F#                       
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell
A                                           E                            
And I was thinking to myself: this could be heaven or this could be hell
G                        D                         
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
Em                                   F#                          
There were voices down the corridor; I thought I heard them say:

{start_of_chorus}
 G                           D   
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Em                                                Bm          
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
G                                  D   
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Em                                       F#            
Any time of year (any time of year), you can find it here"
{end_of_chorus}

Bm                           F#                        
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
A                                     E                      
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
G                                D                  
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Em                      F#                   
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

Bm                           F#                                
So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine", He said
A                                      E                    
"We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine"
G                                       D        
And still those voices are calling from far away
Em                                      F#                     
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say:

 G                           D   
"Welcome to the Hotel California
Em                                                Bm          
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face
     G                                D   
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
       Em                                               F#      
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis"


Bm                      F#                                      
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said
 A                               E                  
"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
G                             D                           
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
Em                                             F#                        
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

Bm                           F#                   
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
A                                     E                  
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
 G                                   D                     
"Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive
Em                                       F#                   
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
