Clearly not just the same chords, the vocal melody is VERY similar
if only because the Eagles actively hunt down and block any covers of HC on YouTube … wonder if they’d block a cover of that …
The Eagles toured with Jethro Tull in 1972.
Don Felder wrote the chord progression for Hotel California.
Don Felder didn’t join the Eagles until 1974.
It’s bollocks. Just a fairly common chord progression and a vocal melody which derives from it that is somewhat similar. Pure coincidence.
I’m a fan of both bands and the songs don’t even sound that alike to me.

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Doesn't matter, they're both great songs. I doubt it's plagiarism, but even if it was I wouldn't care.
As you were...
(well worth watching both - they deserve more views)

*I went to see them at some point with my brother who turned to me after the band came on and said 'Oh, it's the band with the singer who can't sing anymore.' That was about the last time I saw them, and it was down to IA being unable to sing much of the good stuff. It's a shame because I absolutely love the 60s-70s albums and still play them.
