[Verse 1]

Bm F#
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
A E
Warm smell of colitas, rising 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:

[Chorus]

G D
Welcome to the Hotel Califoronia
F# 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

[Verse 2]

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:

[Chorus]

G D
Welcome to the Hotel Califoronia
F# 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

[Verse 3]

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"

Tuning| Standard (EADGBe)

This live acoustic song has three guitars in it, one is a 12 string, which has a capo on the 2nd fret
and plays the top chords which are shown here in parentheses. A 6 string guitar plays
the other chords and the lead. Forgive me if there are a few mistakes/typos in here...

This is where things get complicated....
The 12-string starts messing with picking patterns based around these chords|
Am E7 G D9 F C Dm E7

The 6 string playing the chords begins playing what the 12 string was playing in the
intro, but without the capo.

The lead guitar starts playing this|

The lyrics begin here and everything keeps doing the same thing, except the 6 string
doing the chords, which stops playing until the first verse is complete.

Chorus, 12 string plays these chords|

The rhythm 6 string plays this|

Lead plays Fill 1, 2, and 3.

The lead stops playing for a while until the "Last thing I remember..." verse, where he
plays this, which leads into the solo.

There is it... hope you like it, and sorry if it gets confusing at spots... just listen
to it a few times and you'll figure it out eventually. The 12 string is not completely
necessary for it to sound great, but having 2 guitars is convenient.

Am E7
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
E
I had to stop for the night
