This lead sheet is designed for experienced musicians who are looking for an easy-to-read lead sheet that gives the outline of the song. The melody has been simplified to make the lead sheet more readable. In most cases your vocalist will be performing from memory based on the recording. The original backing vocals are quite involved, so most performances will just inclue one or two improvised parts sung in the spirit of the original track.
A NOTE ABOUT THE METER (time signature): Don Henley plays a strong snare hit on the 4th beat of every bar so this could be interpreted as simple duple meter (6/8). I wrote it in 6/4 because of the slow tempo: an overall slow 2 feel with pronounced 3 moderate subdivisions per beat throughout.
A NOTE ABOUT THE KEY: in every version of this tune that I could find (except the Miley Cyrus), the guitars play in G. The version given with Randy Meisner singing lead is in B major - guitars playing CAPO 4.
Apparently, singing this tune live (with the soaring ad lib vocals at the end) ended up being too taxing for Randy Meisner and legend has it that disagreements about performing it live (at least in part) ended up with him leaving the group.
When Glen Frey sang this in the 2000's and 2010's he did it in G as written here.
When Vince Gill sang this in the 2020's he did it in A major - guitars playing CAPO 2.
I reccomend using G or A major - a female singer might want to do it in C major (like the Miley Cyrus version - see the YouTube clip below).
