“Hotel California” is the title track from the Eagles’ album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977.Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder (music), Don Henley, and Glenn Frey (lyrics). Joe Walsh came up with the dual-guitar descending arpeggio part that ends the song: he did not, however, get writing credits. The Eagles’ original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals, and concludes with an electric guitar solo performed by both Walsh and Felder, in which they both take turns of playing lead before harmonising and playing the aforementioned arpeggio towards the fade out at the end.The song is considered the best known recording by the band, and in 1998 its long guitar coda was voted the best guitar solo of all time by readers of Guitarist.The song was awarded the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1978. The lyrics of the song have been interpreted by fans and critics alike, the Eagles themselves describing the song as their “interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles”. In the 2013 documentary History of the Eagles, Henley said that the song was about “a journey from innocence to experience … that’s all”.

Hotel California Ukulele Chords by Eagles

VERSE

AminOn a dark desert highwayE7Cool wind in my hairGWarm smell of colitasDRising up through the airFUp ahead in the distanceCI saw a shimmering lightDminMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimE7I had to stop for the night
AminThere she stood in the doorwayE7I heard the mission bellGAnd I was thinking to myself“This could be DHeaven or this could be Hell”FThen she lit up a candleCAnd she showed me the wayDminThere were voices down the corridorE7I thought I heard them say
CHORUS
FWelcome to the Hotel CaliCforniaSuch a E7lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a Aminlovely faceFPlenty of room at the Hotel CaliCforniaAny Dmintime of year (any time of year)You can E7find it here
VERSE:
AminHer mind is Tiffany-twistedE7She got the Mercedes BenzGShe got a lot of pretty, pretty boysDThat she calls friendsFHow they dance in the courtyardCSweet summer sweatDminSome dance to rememberE7Some dance to forget
AminSo I called up the Captain“E7Please bring me my wine”GHe said, ‘We haven’t had that spirit hereSince D1969″FAnd still those voices are calling from Cfar awayDminWake you up in the middle of the nightE7Just to hear them say
CHORUS
FWelcome to the Hotel CaliCforniaE7Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a Aminlovely faceFThey livin’ it up at the Hotel CaliCforniaWhat a Dminnice surprise (what a nice surprise)Bring your E7alibis
VERSE
AminMirrors on the ceilingE7The pink champagne on iceGAnd she said, ‘We are all just prisoners hereDOf our own device”FAnd in the master’s chambersCThey gathered for the feastDminThey stab it with their steely knivesE7But they just can’t kill the beast
AminLast thing I remember, I wasE7Running for the doorGI had to find the passage backDTo the place I was beforeF“Relax, ” said the night man“We are Cprogrammed to receiveDminYou can check out any time you likeE7But you can never leave”
CHORUS
FWelcome to the Hotel CaliCforniaE7Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)Such a Aminlovely faceFThey livin’ it up at the Hotel CaliCforniaWhat a Dminnice surprise (what a nice surprise)Bring your E7alibis.
