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

Tuning:eBGDAE



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.  Walsh's part
might not be perfect but it's close.  I usually
just play Felder's part anyway.  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) and from video of their 1977
Houston concert.

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

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.  But if you are a band learning to 
play it for yourselves, I recommend disgarding this as starting
with the main intro gives a greater wow factor.

Now Felder repeats that and Walsh comes in

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

Bm (x24432@1)                      F#7 (242352@1)                  Asus2e (x02200@1)-7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-|-5-5---5-5---5-5---5-5-|

E9 (020132@1)                      G (320003@1)                    De (xx0232@1)-7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-|-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-|

Em7                      F#7e (242352@1)-3-3---3-3---3-3---3-3-|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-|

A -----------------------|-----------------------|
E -----------------------|-----------------------|

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

Bm (x24432@1)              F#7 (242352@1)         A (x02220@1)       E9 (020132@1)G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)     Em7    F#7e (242352@1)---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|-------|----------|

A ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|------5|7---9b10r-|
E ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|-------|----------|

Felder only plays this part:
e ---------------------------|
B ---------------------------|
G ---------------------------|
D ---------------------------|
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--------------|
A ------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------|

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

F#e (244322@1)-------------------2-------------------------------|
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.

Bm (x24432@1)                    F#7 (242352@1)               Ae (x02220@1)---------7--10p9---10--|----6---9p8----9--|------6--9p8---9--------------|

E9 (020132@1)                G (320003@1)                  De (xx0232@1)-------4---7p6--7--|------4---7p6--7---|------2--5p4--5------------------|

G --------------7--10p9--10--|---------------------------------------------|
D -----4---5-----------------|---------------------------------------------|
A -----5---7-----------------|----------------------------------2--4--5----|
E ---------------------------|-------------------------2----6--------------|

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"

e -------10----------------------------------9b10r---------|
B -----x-------------------------------10------------------|
G ----x-------pb11r9--7------9b10--------------------------|
D ---x-----------------------9-----------------------------|
A ---------------------------------------------------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------|

Felder plays this between "They're livin' it up at the Hotel California" and
"What a nice surprise"

e ----17b19---x-x-------------------------------------------|
B ------------------pb19r17--17p15-------15b17----15--------|
G ------------------------------------h16-------------------|
D ----------------------------------------------------------|
A ----------------------------------------------------------|
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.

Bm (x24432@1)                           F#7 (242352@1)                         Ae (x02220@1)-------7--10p9--10------------|-----6---9p8----9-----------|------------|

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.

Now comes the second part played by Walsh. Felder just strums the chords on
the 6-string during it.

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

BmOn (x24432@1)a dark desert highway

F#7Cool (242352@1)wind in my hair

AWarm (x02220@1)smell of colitas

E9Rising (020132@1)up through the air

GUp (320003@1)ahead in the distance

DI (xx0232@1)saw a shimmering light

Em7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

F#7I (242352@1)had to stop for the night

BmThere (x24432@1)she stood in the doorway

F#7I (242352@1)heard the mission bell

AAn' (x02220@1)I was thinkin' to myself tis could be

E9Heaven (020132@1)or this could be hell

GThen (320003@1)she lit up a candle

DAn' (xx0232@1)she showed me the way

Em7
There were voices down the corridor

F#7I (242352@1)thought I heard them say

Chorus:

G (320003@1)                         DWelcome (xx0232@1)to the Hotel California

F#7Such (242352@1)a lovely place (such a lovely place)

BmSuch (x24432@1)a lovely face

G (320003@1)                                DPlenty (xx0232@1)of room at the Hotel California

Em7
Any time of year (any time of year)

F#7You (242352@1)can find it here

BmHer (x24432@1)mind is Tiffany twisted

F#mShe (244222@1)got the Mercedes bends

AShe (x02220@1)got a lot of pretty pretty boys

E9That (020132@1)she calls friends

GHow (320003@1)they dance in the courtyard

DSweet (xx0232@1)summer sweat

Em7
Some dance to remember

F#7Some (242352@1)dance to forget

BmSo (x24432@1)I called up the captain

F#7Please (242352@1)bring me my wine

AHe (x02220@1)said we havn't had that spirit here since

E9nineteen (020132@1)sixty nine

GAnd (320003@1)still those voices are calling from

DFar (xx0232@1)Away

Em7
Wake you up in the middle of the night

F#7Just (242352@1)to here them say

Chorus:

G (320003@1)                         DWelcome (xx0232@1)to the Hotel California

F#7Such (242352@1)a lovely place (such a lovely place)

BmSuch (x24432@1)a lovely face

G (320003@1)                              DThey're (xx0232@1)livin' it up at the Hotel California

Em7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

F#7Bring (242352@1)your alibis

BmMirrors (x24432@1)on the ceiling

F#7The (242352@1)pink champagne on ice an' she said

AWe (x02220@1)are all just prisoners here

E9Of (020132@1)our own device

GAn' (320003@1)in the master's chambers

DThey (xx0232@1)gathered for the feast

Em7
They stab it with their Steely knives but they

F#7Just (242352@1)can't kill the beast

BmLast (x24432@1)thing I remember I was

F#7Running (242352@1)for the door

AI (x02220@1)had to find the passage back to the

E9Place (020132@1)I was before

GRelax (320003@1)said the night man we are

DProgrammed (xx0232@1)to receive

Em7
You can check out any time you like

F#7But (242352@1)you can never leave

he just does the verse prog through the whole solo.
