Verse: Bm Gb7 On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair A E7 Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air G D Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light Em Gb7 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night Bm Gb7 There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell A E7 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 Gb7 There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Chorus: G D Welcome to the Hotel California Gb7 Bm Gb7 Bm Such a lovely place ( Such a lovely place ) Such a lovely face G D Plenty of room at the Hotel California Em Gb7 Any time of year ( Any time of year ) You can find it here Verse: Bm Gb7 Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends A E7 She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends G D How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Em Gb7 Some dance to remember, some dance to forget Bm Gb7 So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" A E7 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 Gb7 Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Chorus: G D Welcome to the Hotel California Gb7 Bm Gb7 Bm Such a lovely place ( Such a lovely place ) Such a lovely face G D They livin' it up at the Hotel California Em Gb7 What a nice surprise ( what a nice surprise ) Bring your alibis Verse: Bm Gb7 Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice A E7 And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" G And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast Em They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Bm Gb7 Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door A E7 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.

7 ukulele chords used in "Hotel California" by Eagles: A, Bm, D, Em, E7, Gb7 and G

Dads fav song… happy fathers day
I think for beginners wanting to play this song this would sound better,
f c g d
“Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place, such a lovely face.”
These chords are also really good but more for people who have been playing a while like me. my friend who just recently bought a ukulele tried these chords and couldn’t play them 🙁
so here’s an alternate 🙂
-2 sounds good and rlly easy
how do you play the riff at the end of the song?
For the fingerpicking I like C A G – E A – C G E A – – – – –
We need tabs for the fingerpicking!
-2 with capo on the second fret is perfect, but sounds ok without the capo if you don’t have.

OMG hurts my fingers

idk if this is useful, but i couldn’t play GB7 and it didn’t feel right to skip it in the progression, so i found that this is much easier: Am, E7, G, D, F, C, Dm, E7 for the verse and F, G, E7, Am, F, C, Dm, E7 for the chorus. oh and strumming pattern is D D DU U UDUDU. hope this helps !
Colitis? Really? LOL
welcome to the LA bed and breakfast
That was a great song!
