_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The first thing that happens is you get some kind of label and you got to live up to it
and then [A] you just get [G] caught in [E] that and I forget [F#] what the second thing is. _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] It's _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
hard.
it's like living two lives, you know, I have a [E] family, three kids, _ _ and [C#m] it's just hard to
live in between that line, you know, of being out on the [D#m] road and [E] being away for a month.
Keep on turning out [F#] and learning [E] out [F#] and turning out [B] the _ same.
[F#] _
_ _ _ [E] So put me [B] on my way [E] and show me [B] a sign.
_ [E] And take it _ [F#] to the limit one [B] more time.
[N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you and good evening.
We're the Eagles from Los Angeles. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load.
I got seven [D] women on [C] my mind.
[G] People are always saying things to me [D] like, you're just like a normal [C] person. _ _
And I always say, of course.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ We saw a poster of us when On the Border was made.
[Am] Everybody looked like little kids, you know, _ [E] early 20s and stuff.
And [Bm] everybody didn't have the [Em] wrinkles and [Bm] baggy eyes.
Sort of like a president when he [Em] first takes office.
[G] _
And then [E] like four or five years later, you know, he just, [D] he walks out and his hair is gray.
[E] His eyes are drooping and he's just really, you know, real burned. _ _ _
_ It _ _ _ _ was a fucking blast.
_ You know, I was living the dream.
He was a hot ass.
_ He was brutally handsome.
We never in our wildest dreams figured on being this successful and lasting this long.
[D#] _ _ [G] _ Well _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm running down the road trying to loosen my load.
I got seven [D] women on [C] my mind.
From _ [G] _ the one that owned [D] me to the one that stole [C] me once, she's a [G] friend of mine.
Take [Em] it _ _ _ easy, take [G] it [C] _ _ _
[G] easy.
_ Don't let [Am] the sound of your [C] own wheels [Em] drive you crazy.
_ _ _ [C] Lighten up while you [G] still can.
_ [C] Don't even try to [G] understand.
_ Just find [Am] a place and [G] make [C] your stand.
Take [G] it _ _ _ easy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well I'm standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.
Such [D] a fine sight [C] to see.
_ [G] It's a girl, my lord, [D] and a black backboard.
[C] So I'm down to take a look [G] at me.
Well come [Em] on baby, _ _
[D] _ _ don't [C] say _ _ [G] maybe.
_ I [Am] either know your [G]
[C] sweet love [Em] is gonna save me.
_ _ We [C] may lose and [G] we may win, but [C] we will never be here [G] again.
So [Am] open up, I'm [C]
climbing in.
Take [G] it _ _ easy.
_ _ _ We ended up going all around the world in about two years and nine [C] months.
Well you know we [G] gotta take _ _
_ _ [C] _ it easy. _ _ _
_ We ought to [G] take _ it easy.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] A _ _ [F#] rock band is not a perfect democracy.
It's more like a [A] sports team.
No one can do anything without the other [E] guys.
[B] But everybody [Em] doesn't get to touch the ball all the [G] time. _
_ Time went on and time went on and Felder [D] became more and more unhappy.
_ Couldn't [Em] appreciate the amount of money he was making.
More concerned [F#] about how much money I was making.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don Felder really thought about it.
It really was, he wanted it to be a band band in the purest sense of the words.
You know we're all gonna get equal songwriting, singing, expression, stuff.
You know this was not a hippie _ commune.
You know and everything for them really goes back to those two words, song power.
_ _ _ _ _ We finally made the decision that we won't be working with him anymore.
_ _ It just broke my heart. _ _
It's not just playing with Joe.
_ I miss these guys, _ but I really miss the friendship and the music.
_ [C#m] _ _ People to have an equal say.
Here we are 40 years later and we're doing okay.
[F#m] _ [E] We're one of the few bands that can say that.
[N] _
