]]>Pay attention to h (hammer on) and p (pull off) notation. There are lots of those in the solos. An hp is a hammer on followed immediately by a pull off. Basically, it’s like the start of a trill but you’re hitting the higher note only once.
This live performance is in my top 10 list of best live performances ever. They use several guitars. In this transcription, I try to cover the basic idea so you may hear some higher tones lacking.
Enjoy!

Verse 1:
Bm Gb
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 shimmering light
Em Gb
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night.
Bm Gb
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 Gb
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
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 Gb
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Verse 2:
Bm Gb
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
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 Gb
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
Bm Gb
So I called up the Captain, 'Please bring me my wine'
A E
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
G D
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Em Gb
Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say"
Chorus:
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 Gb
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Verse 3:
Bm Gb
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice
A E
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
G D
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast
Em Gb
They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast
Bm Gb
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
You can check out any time you like
