Hotel California Guitar Tab
Hotel California is an all time classic for The Eagles. A song that every guitar player should be able to play. The intro a nice picking line which you can play slowly if the original is too fast for you. I've also included the chords for the Verses and Chorus.

HERE'S THE CHORDS FOR THE VERSE AND CHORUS
[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitis, [E]rising through the air
[G]Up ahead in the distance, [D]I saw a shimmering light
[Em]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, [F#]I had to stop for the night
[Bm]There she stood in the doorway, [F#]I heard the mission bell
[A]And I was thinking to myself: this could be [E]heaven or this could be hell
[G]Then she lit up a candle [D]and she showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor; [F#]I thought I heard them say:
CHORUS
[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
Any [Em]time of year (any time of year), you can [F#]find it here"
