Lyin' Eyes - chords, tab and comments


From the album "One of These Nights" (1975). Also released as a single, truncated to keep runtime under the 4 minutes most radio stations allowed.
This is the only Eagles song I've ever adapted and played. An endless stream of songs about cheating women have pestered the charts since the dawn of recording music, but this one I just had to include.

E               Emaj7            A
city girls just seem to find out early
F#m         A                  B7
how to open doors with just a smile
  E                Emaj7             A
a rich old man and she won't have to worry
       F#m             A              E
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style
...
          E   A9           E
you can't hide your lying eyes
         C#m   G#m          F#m  B7
and your smile is a thin disguise
             E  E7         A  F#
I thought by now you'd realize
      F#m              A               E
there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
