The chord progression for the chorus is listed as "G–D–Em–Bm–G–D–Em–F♯". I believe the 3rd chord in that progression is actually an F#. http://www.chordie.com/chord.pere/www.xguitar.com/guitar-tabs/eagles/hotel_california/hotel_california.txt — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan asc (talk • contribs) 9:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
