| | Everyone and his brother has asked for this, so I'm putting it up. |
| I have the intro, and the solos. The rest of the song is just |
| basically the electric version, toned down a little, and with |
| different riffs in the chorus. Good luck! |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
| There are three guitars going here: |
| FREY 12-string acoustic, capo 2nd fret |
| WALSH 6-string acoustic, nylon string |
| FELDER 6-string acoustic, nylon string |
| This is the intro. Frey plays the top chords shown in parentheses, |
| while Walsh plays the bottom chords. Felder plays the intro riff you hear. |

| More things start happening here. |
| Frey's 12-string starts messing with picking patterns based around these chords: |
| | Am | E7 | G | D9 | F | C | Dm | E7 |
| | | | | | | | | Felder plays something similar the intro 12-string part with his 6-string, it's found on |
| my Hotel California page. He doesn't use a capo though. |
| Walsh plays this little thing after the first round of Felder's part: |

| Here's where the vocals come in. The lyrics can be found here. |
| Felder and Frey keep doin' what they're doin', and Walsh sits |
| around and acts bored for the first verse. During the second |
| verse (There she stood...), Walsh plays the foreground acoustic |
| part. It is very similar to what's found in the electric version |
| here, except Walsh slides the chords instead of bending them. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Once we get to the chorus, Frey plays these chords: |
| | F | C | D7 | Am | F | C | Dm | E |
| Felder p | lays | thi | s: | | | | | |
| Walsh plays Fill 1, 2, and 3. If you listen, they are easy to hear: |

| Once we get to the "So I called up..." verse, |

| During the "Mirrors on the ceiling" verse, Frey does the |

| Walsh is bored until the "Last thing I remember..." verse, where he plays this, |
| and it leads into the solo: |
| Last thing... I was runnin' for the door. I had to find the |

| From here on out, Felder plays the top (e.g. 10p7 7) and |
