Hotel CaliforniaEaglesTab by:omanyen@fusemail.comThere are numorous tabs on this song. Some are good, others are justawful. Many are repeats that people got from other sights. All of themhave one thing in common: they don't show you how to play it CORRECTLY,with only a four-piece band. Yes, there are as many as EIGHT,count 'em,EIGHT ( 8 ), separate and distinct guitar parts.But you CAN play thissong with 1 drummer, 1 bass player, 1 rhythm guitar player, and 1 leadguitar player. I've tabbed this in small increments to make it moreeasily read and understood. The first part is the intro, finger-picked,and is played throughout the song. The 2nd part is the incredible lead,tabbed for ONE guitar player. ENJOY!!!INTRO:( finger-picked, using just the thumb and index finger )Bm--2--2--------2-----------2---------0--2---| --3-----3--------3-----------3-------------|

airGUp ahead in the distanceDI saw a shimmering lightEmMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimF#I had to stop for the nightBmThere she stood in the doorwayF#mI heard the mission bellAAnd I was thinking to myself this could be-EmHeaven or this could be HellGThen she lit up a candleDAnd she showed me the wayEmThere were voices down the corridorF#I thought I heard them say----------------------------------------------------------------------( CHORUS )G DWelcome to the Hotel Cali-forniaF#Such a lovely placeBmSuch a lovely faceG DPlenty of room at the Hotel Cali-forniaEm F#Any time of year - You can find it here.----------------------------------------------------------------------BmHer mind is Tiffany twistedF#mShe got the Mercedes Benz - uh-huhAShe got alot of pretty, pretty boysEmThat she calls friendsGHow they dance in the court yardDSwee--eet summer sweatEmSome dance to rememberF#some dance to forgetBmSo I called up the captainF#mPlease bring me my wine - he saidAWe haven't had that spirit here sinceEmNineteen sixty nineGAnd still those voices are calling fromDFaa--aar awaa--aayEmWake you up in the middle of the nightF#Just to hear them say----------------------------------------------------------------------( CHORUS )G DWelcome to the Hotel Cali-forniaF#Such a lovely placeBmSuch a lovely faceG DThey're livin' it up at the Hotel Cali-forniaEmWhat a nice surpriseF#Bring your alibis----------------------------------------------------------------------BmMirrors on the ceilingF#mPink champagne on ice - and she saidAWe are all just prisoners hereEmOf our own deviceGAnd in the masters chambersDThey gathered for their feastEmThey stab it with their steely knives - but theyF#just can't kill the beastBmLast thing I remember,- I wasF#mRunning for the doorAI had to find the passage back, to theEmplace I was beforeGRelax said the night man we areDProgrammed to receiveEmYou can check out any time you likeF#But you can never leave----------------------------------------------------------------------( LEAD ) /=slide up \=slide down h=hammerv=vibrate x=mute p=pulloff(very
