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.  Forgive that the
solos and Joe Walsh's parts aren't very good.  I usually
just play Felder's part.

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 took forever cus I couldn't find any video of it
being played so I had to play around with it so it might
be wrong but it works.  It's heavily palm muted and I assume played by
Walsh or Felder on the 6 string electric. Play it several times at the
beginning before the main intro starts.

B ---2--2---|
G ---3--3---|

Intro:

Now Felder repeats that and Walsh comes in

 Bm                   F#7              Asus2           E9

Ok here is where I'm clueless on Walsh.  Glenn just strums the chords
I think, but Felder plays the intro through once more then Walsh and Felder
split. Felder's note is the higher one, Walsh is the lower.

 Bm                F#7           A         E9  G          D       Em7    F#7
e ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|--------|----------|
B ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|--------|----------|
G --7----9--9b11-|--6--9--9b11-|--6---7b8-|4-|4---6-6b8-|-2------|----------|
D --9---11-11b12-|--8-11-11b12-|--7---7b8-|6-|5---8-8b10|-4-----4|5---8b9r--|
A ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|-------5|7---9b10r-|
E ---------------|-------------|----------|--|----------|--------|----------|

Felder only plays this part:
e ---------------------------|
B ---------------------------|
G ---------------------------|
D ---------------------------|
A ----------2--4--5----------|
E --2---6--------------------|

Chorus:
This is played by Walsh 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 ------------------------------------------------|

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                      F#7                 A
e ---------7--10p9---10-------6---9p8----9---------6--9p8---9--------------|
B ---------9--12p11--12-------8--11p10--11---------7-10p9--10--------------|
G ----7--------------------6-------------------6---------------------------|
D ----9--------------------8-------------------7---------------------------|
A -------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------------------------------------|

  E9                  G                    D
e -------4---7p6--7---------4---7p6--7----------2--5p4--5------------------|
B -------6---9p8--9---------5---8p7--8----------4--7p6--7------------------|
G --4------------------4-------------------2-------------------------------|
D --6------------------5-------------------4-------------------------------|
A -------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E -------------------------------------------------------------------------|

          Em7                   F#7
e --------------------------------7b8r---7p5h7-----------------------------|
B --------------5---8p7---8-------9b10r--9p7h9-----------------------------|
G --------------7--10p9--10------------------------------------------------|
D -----4---5---------------------------------------------------------------|
A -----5---7----------------------------------------------------2--4--5----|
E -----------------------------------------------------2----6--------------|

Second chorus:

Felder plays 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 basically 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                             F#7                           A
e -------7--10p9--10------------------6---9p8----9------------------------|
B -------9--12p11-12------------------8--11p10--10------------------------|
G ---7-----------------9---9b11---6------------------9--9b11----6---------|
D ---9----------------11--11b12---8-----------------11-11b12----7---------|
A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------|

                        E9                   G                         D
e ----6----9p8---9---------------4--7p6--6------4---7p6---7---------------|
B ----7---10p9--10---------------6--9p8--9------5---8p7---8---------------|
G ------------------7b8---4---4--------------4---------------6--6b8----2--|
D ------------------7b8---6---6--------------5---------------8--8b10---4--|
A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------|

                      Em7               F#7
e ---2---5p4--5----------------------------7b8r----7p5h7------------------|
B ---4---7p6--7------------5---8p7---8-----9b10r---9p7h9------------------|
G ----------------4---5----7--10p9--10------------------------------------|
D ----------------5---7---------------------------------------------------|
A ------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Now the solo; as I've said, Walsh's solo is probably really wrong but it's
as close as I can get. Felder plays first, then Walsh.

                    Bm                                 F#7
e ----------------|------------------------------------|-------------------|

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'.

Bm
On a dark desert highway

F#7
Cool wind in my hair

A
Warm smell of colitas

E9
Rising up through the air

G
Up ahead in the distance

D
I saw a shimmering light

Em7
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

F#7
I had to stop for the night

Bm
There she stood in the doorway

F#7
I heard the mission bell

A
An' I was thinkin' to myself tis could be

E9
Heaven or this could be hell

G
Then she lit up a candle

D
An' she showed me the way

Em7
There were voices down the corridor

F#7
I thought I heard them say


Chorus:

G                           D
Welcome to the Hotel California

       F#7
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)

       Bm
Such a lovely face

G                                  D
Plenty of room at the Hotel California

    Em7
Any time of year (any time of year)

        F#7
You can find it here


Bm
Her mind is Tiffany twisted

F#m
She got the Mercedes Benz

A
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys

E9
That she calls friends

G
How they dance in the courtyard

D
Sweet summer sweat

Em7
Some dance to remember

F#7
Some dance to forget

Bm
So I called up the captain

F#7
Please bring me my wine

        A
He said we havn't had that spirit here since

E9
nineteen sixty nine

G
And still those voices are calling from

D
Far Away

Em7
Wake you up in the middle of the night

F#7
Just to here them say


Chorus:

G                           D

Such a lovely face

        G                                D
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California

       Em7
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

           F#7
Bring your alibis

Bm
Mirrors on the ceiling

F#7
The pink champagne on ice an' she said

A
We are all just prisoners here

E9
Of our own device

G
An' in the master's chambers

D
They gathered for the feast

Em7
They stab it with their Steely knives but they

F#7
Just can't kill the beast

Bm
Last thing I remember I was

F#7
Running for the door

A
I had to find the passage back to the

E9
Place I was before

G
Relax said the night man we are

D
Programmed to receive

Em7

F#7
But you can never leave
