THE EAGLES
01-AFTER THE THRILL IS GONE – Sol M
The Eagles
Same dances in the same old shoes
Some habits that you just can't lose
There's no telling what a man might use
After the thrill is gone.
The flame rises but it soon descends
Empty pages and a frozen pen
You're not quite lovers
and you're not quite friends
After the thrill is gone oh
After the thrill is gone
What can you do when your dreams come true
And it's not quite like you planned?
What have you done to be losing the one
You held it so tight in your hand well
Time passes and you must move on,
Half the distance takes you twice as long
So you keep on singing
After the thrill is gone
You're afraid you might fall out of fashion
And you're feeling cold and small
Any kind of love without passion
That ain't no kind of lovin' at all, well
Same dances in the same old shoes
You get too careful with the steps you choose
You don't care about winning
but you don't want to lose
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone
After the thrill is gone, oh
After the thrill is gone
02-ALREADY GONE – Sol M
The Eagles
Well, i heard some people talking
just the other day
and they said you were gonna
put me on a shelf
well, let me tell you i've got
Some news for you
and you'll soon find out it's True
and then you'll have to eat
your lunch all by yourself
coz i'm al - ready gone,
and i'm fee--ee--eeling strong
i will singing this vict'ry song,
woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
the letter that you wrote
me made me stop and wonder why
but i guess you felt like you had to set things right
just remember this my girl
when you look up in the sky
you can see the stars
and still not see the light, that's right
and i'm-al - ready gone,
and i'm fee--ee--eeling strong
i will si--ing this vict'ry song,
woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
well, i know it wasn't you who held me down
heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
so oftentimes it happens
that we live our lives in chains
that we never even know
we have the key
me, i'm already gone,
and i'm feeling strong
i will sing this vict'ry song,
coz i'm already gone
coz i'm al - ready gone,
and i'm fee--ee--eeling strong
i will si--ing this vict'ry song,
coz i'm al - ready gone
yes, i'm already gone, already gone (awright, nighty night) already gone, already gone
03-BEST OF MY LOVE – Do M
The Eagles
Every night i'm lying in bed
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinking about all the things that we said
Coming apart at the seams
We tried to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were trying
To give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces, loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time
on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
I'm going back in time and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night, and i would be alright
If i could go on
sleeping
But every morning, i wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today?
You see it your way, i see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other, baby
I guess that wasn't enough, oh
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
04-BITTER CREEK – Re m
The Eagles
Once I was young and so unsure
I'd try any ill to find the cure
An old man told me
Tryin' to scold me
"Oh, son, don't wade to deep
in Bitter Creek," (Bitter Creek…)
Out where the desert meets the sky
Is where I go when I wanna hide
Oh, peyote (oh,peyote,mm)
She tried to show me (tried to show me)
You know there ain't no cause to weep
at Bitter Creek (Bitter Creek)
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
05-CERTAIN KIND OF FOOL – Re M
The Eagles
He was a poor boy,
raised in a small family
He kinda had a craving
for somethin' no one else could see
They say that he was crazy,
The kind that no lady should meet
He ran out to the cit and wandered around in the street
He wants to dance, oh yeah,
He wants to sing, oh yeah,
He wants to see the lights a flashin' and listen
to the thunder ring
He saw it in a window
The mark of a new kind of man
He kinda liked the feeling,
so shiny and smooth in his hand
He took it to the country
and practiced for days without rest
And then one day he felt if,
He knew he could stand with the best
They got respect, oh yeah,
He wants the same, oh yeah,
And it's a certain kind of fool who
Like to hear the sound of his own name
A poster on a storefront,
the picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation
spreading like fire throught the land
It wasn't for the money,
at least it didn't star t that way
It wasn't for the runnin' ,
but now he's runnin' everyday
06-DOOLIN – DALTON – La M
The Eagles
They were duelin' Doolin - Dalton
High or low it was the same
Easy money and faithless women
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
Go down Bill Dalton it must be God's will
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville
Two voices call to you from where they stood
Lay down your law books now They're no damn good
Better keep on movin' Doolin - Dalton
Til your shadow sets you free
If you're fast and if you're lucky
You will never see that hangin' tree
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waitn' for the names
And a man could use his back or use his brains
But some just when stir crazy Lord
Cause nothin' ever changed
Til Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
He was workin' cheap just biddin' time
Then he laughed and said I'm goin'
And so he left that peaceful life behind
07-IN THE CITY – Re M
The Eagles
Somewhere out there on that horizon
out beyond the neon lights
i know there must be somethin' better
but there's nowhere else in sight.
It's survival in the city
when you live from day to day
city streets don't have much pity
when you're down, that's where you'll stay
in the city, oh, oh.
in the city
I was born here in the city
with my back against the wall
nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty
no one's there to catch you when you fall
somewhere out on that horizon
faraway from the neon sky
i know there must be somethin' better
and i can't stay another night
in the city, oh, oh.
in the city
08-DESPERADO – Sol M
The Eagles
Desperado
why don't you come to your senses?
you been out ridin' fences
for so long now
oh you're a hard one
i know that
you got your reasons
these things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts
is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones
that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home
and freedom, oh freedom
well, that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walking
through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold
in the winter time?
the sky won't snow
and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell
the night time from the day
you're loosin' all
your highs and lows
ain't it funny how
the feeling goes away?
Desperado,
why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences,
open the gate
it may be rainin',
but there's a rainbow above you
you better let somebody love you,
09-HOTEL CALIFORNIA – Si m
The Eagles
On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair
The warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
And i was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought i heard them say
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Mirrors on the ceilling, the pink champaign on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast
Her mind is definitely twisted She's got her Mercedes Benz
She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember Some dance to forget
So i called up the captain Please bring me my wine
He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices they're calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Last thing i remember, i was runnin' for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place i was before
good night said the night man we are programmed to receive
You can check out anyytime you like,
but you can never leave
Welcome to the hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
There's plenty of room at the hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Solo final-
10-I CAN’T TELL YOU WHY – Re M
The Eagles
Look at us baby
up all night,
tearing our love apart
aren't we the same two
people who lived
through years in the dark, ah
every time i try to walk away
something makes me turn around and stay
and i can't tell you why
When we get crazy
it just ain't right
girl i get lonely too
you don't have to worry
just hold on tight
(don't get lost in your little world)
'cause i love you
nothing's wrong as far as i can see
we make it harder than it has to be
and i can't tell you why no baby
i can't tell you why
i can't tell you why
i can't tell you why
Every time i try to walk away
something makes me turn around and stay
And i can't tell you why
i can't tell you why
i can't tell you why
i can't tell you why
11-LONELY PEOPLE – Sol M
The Eagles
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you
drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you
drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way
12-TEQUILA SUNRISE – Sol M
The Eagles
It's another tequila sunrise
starin' slowly 'cross the sky
said goodbye
he was just a hired hand
workin' on the dreams he planned to try
the days go by
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
just another lonely boy in town
and she's out runnin' 'round
She wasn't just another woman
and i couldn't keep from comin' on
it's been so long
oh and it's a hollow feelin'
when it comes down to dealin' friends
it never ends
13-JAMES DEAN – La M
The Eagles
James Dean, James Dean,
i know just what you mean.
James Dean,
you said it all so clean
and i know my life would look alright
if i could see it on the silver screen.
You were the low down rebel if there ever was
even if you had no'cause.
James Dean,
you said it all so clean
and i know my life would look alright
if i could see it on the silver screen.
We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
you were just too cool for school.
sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
the only thing that got you
off was breakin' all the rules.
James Dean, james Dean,
so hungry and so lean.
James Dean,
and i know my life would look alright
if i could see it on the silver screen.
Little James Dean up
on the screen
wond'rin' who he might be.
along came a spyder,
picked up a rider,
took him down the road to eternity.
James Dean, James Dean,
you bought it sight unseen.
James Dean, James Dean,
you bought it sight unseen.
you were too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye.
you were too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye.
bye bye too fast to live too young to die
bye bye too fast to live too young to die
bye bye too fast to live too young to die
bye bye too fast to live too young to die
too fast to live too young to die
oo-oo-oo-oo too fast to live too young to die
bye bye too fast to live too young to die

14-THE LONG RUN – Do M
The Eagles
I used to hurry a lot, i used to worry a lot,
i used to stay out till the break of the day.
oh that didn't get it, it was high time, i quit it
i just couldn't carry on that way.
oh, i did some damage,
i know it's true
didn't know i was so lonely
till i found you.
Who can go the distance?
we'll find out
in the long run. (in the long run.)
we can handle some resistance
if our love is a strong one.
(is a strong one )
People talkin' about us,
they got nothin' else to do.
when it all comes down
we will still come through
in the long run.
ooh i want to tell you it's a long run.
You know i don't understand
why you don't treat yourself better,
do the crazy things that you do.
when all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you.
did you do it for love,
did you do it for money?
did you do it for spite,
did you think you had to, honey?
Who is gonna make it?
we'll find out in the long run.
(in the long run )
i know we can take it
if our love is a strong one.
(is a strong one )
Well we're scared but we ain't shakin',
kinda bent but we ain't breakin'
in the long run.
ooh i want to tell you it's a long run.
15-LYIN EYES – Sol M
The Eagles
City girls just seem to find out early
how to open doors with just a smile
a rich old man and she won't have to worry
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big ole house gets lonely,
i guess every form refuge has its price
and it breaks her heart to think her love is only
given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
to comfort an old friend who's feeling down
but he knows where she's going as she's leaving
she is headed for the cheatin' side of town.
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
and your smile is a thin disguise
i thought by now you'd realize
there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with firey eyes and dreams no one could steal
she drives on through the night anticipating
cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
she whispers it's only for a while
she swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
she pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
and your smile is a thin disguise
i thought by now you'd realize
there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
and stares out at the stars up in the sky
another night - it's gonna be a long one
she draws the shade and hangs her head and cries
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
she thinks about a boy she knew in school
did she get tired, or did she just get lazy
she's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know know how to arrange things
you set it up so well, so carefully
ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
you're still the same ole' girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
and your smile is a thin disguise…
16-NEW KID IN TOWN – Mi M
The Eagles
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar
great expectations, everybody's watching you
people you meet they all seem to know you
even your old friends treat you like you're something new
Johnny-come-lately,
the new kid in town
everybody loves you,
so don't let them down
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
hopeless romantics, here we go again
but after a while you're looking the other way
it's those restless hearts that never mend
johnny-come-lately,
the new kid in town
will she still love you
when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her
but night after night you're willing to hold her
just hold her tears on your shoulder
+ 1 tone
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you
that it doesn't really matter which side you're on
you're walking away and they're talking behind you
they will never forget you till somebody new comes along
Where you been lately?
there's a new kid in town
everybody loves him,
don't they? now he's holding her
and you're still around, oh my my
there's a new kid in town
just another new kid in town
Oo-hoo, everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
oo-hoo, everybody's walking like the new kid in town
there's a new kid in town i don't want to hear it
there's a new kid in town i don't want to hear it
there's a new kid in town
there's a new kid in town
there's a new kid in town everybody's talking
there's a new kid in town people started walking
there's a new kid in town
there's a new kid in town
(repeat & fade)
17-NIGHTINGALE – Re M
The Eagles
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don't know
I'm hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them roll
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy
I'll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
the apple of my eye
oh, I just don't know, no no, no, no
oh, I love her so
Don't let me see that morning paper
cause I don't need those dues
it's just the same old murder movie
but they call it the news
I'll tell you what would be some story
and what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
that just happened to me, oh,
I just don't know, no, no, no, no
Oh, I'll never let her go
Every time I hear somebody
sneakin' up behind
whoa, I turn around but I still hear that sound
and just when I'm about to lose my mind
Here comes my baby
singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along that
Devastation trail well tell the Lord above
she's got a brand of love
that cannot fail
I'm hanging on to my peace of mind
that's no lie
I'm hanging on to my special friend
the apple of my eye
my inspiration, too
she's got a lead on my heart and
my soul and she knows just what to do
oh, I just don't know, no ,no, no, no
No, I get so low, and my mind's about to go
but wait a minute,
here comes my baby singing like a nightingale
coming my way down along that devastation trail
Well, let the fires burn,
let the floods return we will prevail
Hanging on to my peace of mind, I just don't know18-ON THE BORDER – Mi M7
The Eagles
Cruisin' down the centre of a two way street

Oh ooh, i'm out on the border

19-PEACEFUL EASY FEELING – Mi M
The Eagles
I like the way
your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin it's so brown
And i wanna sleep with you
In the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'cause i gotta peaceful easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm
already standing
on the ground
And i found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
And i gotta peaceful, easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm
already standing
on the ground
I get this feeling i may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering
In my other ear,
tells me I may never see you again
'cause i get a peaceful, easy feeling
And i know you won't let me down
'cause i'm
already standing
on the ground
'cause i'm already standing...
On the ground

20-SATURDAY NIGHT – Sol M
The Eagles
Seems like a dream now,
it was so long ago
The moon burned so bright
and the time went so slow
And I swore that I loved her
and gave her a ring
The bluebird was high on the wing
Whatever happened
to Saturday night
Finding a sweetheart
and holding her tight?
She said,"Tell me,
oh, tell me,
was I alright?"
Whatever happened
to Saturday night?
The years brought the railroad
It ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passes the time
at another man's side
And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangled web we weave
Go 'round with circumstance
Someone show me how to tell
the dancer From
the dance
What ever happened
To Saturday night?
Choosin' a friend
and loosin' a fight
She said,"Tell me, oh, tell me,
are you alright?"
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
Whatever happened to Saturday night?21-TAKE IT EASY – Sol M
The Eagles

22-TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT – Si M
The Eagles
All alone at the end of the evening
and the bright lights have faded to blue.
i was thinking 'bout a woman
who might have loved me,
i never knew.
you know i've always been a dreamer
spent my life running round
and it's so hard to change
can't seem to settle down
but the dreams i've seen lately
keep on turning out
and burning out and turning out the same.
so put me on a highway
and show me a sign
and take it to the limit one more time.
you can spend all your time making money,
you can spend all your love making time.
if it all fell to pieces tomorrow
would you still be mine?
and when you're looking for your freedom
nobody seems to care
and you can't find the door
can't find it anywhere
when there's nothing to believe in
still you're coming back,
you're running back, you're coming back for more.
so put me on a highway
and show me a sign
and take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time.
take it to the limit, take it to the limit,
take it to the limit one more time. (fade out)
23-TRYIN’ – Re M
The Eagles
I'm just arriving in the city
and there's music on my mind
lookin' for my destination
and my home is far behind
'Cause it's a long road ahead
and you can make it in the end
and I'm gonna make it with my friends
And I'm tryin'
It took me sometime to see it
now I'm looking through this world
and it's gonna take some time before
I get back, help me girl
'cause you can make it if you try …
you gotta lay it on the line
and everything will be fine
if you try
guitar break
Sittin' smokin' just a thinkin'
is an easy thing to do
We gotta keep on trying for
the feelin' to come true
and it's a lonely way to live
you gotta take it, you gotta live
if you mistake it, just try again
and I'm trying, yeah!
Got to keep on trying
Ah, we got to keep on trying
Yeah I'm trying...
(many times)
24-THE SAD CAFÉ – Si M
The Eagles
Out in the shiny night
the rain Was softly falling
The tracks that ran down the boulevard
had All been washed away
Out of the silver light
the past came softly calling
And i remember the times we spent
Inside the sad cafe
Oh it seemed like a holy place
Protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud
the Things we could not say
We thought we could change this world
With words like "love" and "freedom"
We were part of the lonely crowd
Inside the sad cafe
Oh, expecting to fly,
We would meet on that shore
Some of their dreams came true,
Some just passed away
And some of the stayed behind
Inside the sad cafe.
(break)
The clouds rolled in
and hid that shore
Now that glory train,
it don't stop here no more
Now i look at the years gone by,
And wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
And let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn
the faces i recall
But things in this life change very slowly,
If they ever change at all
There's no use in asking why,
It just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight baby
Inside the sad cafe.
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,
Inside the sad cafe.
25-THOSE SHOES – Mi m
The Eagles
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, momma
there must be someplace you can go
in the middle of the tall drinks and the drama
there must be someone you know
God knows you're lookin' good enough
but you're so smooth and the world's so rough
you might have somethin' to lose
Oh no, pretty momma,
what you gonna do in those shoes
Got those pretty little straps around your ankles
got those shiny little chains around your heart
you got to have your independence
but you don't know just where to start
Desperation in the singles bars
and all those jerk offs in their fancy cars
you can't believe your reviews
Oh no, you can't do that
once you started wearin' those shoes
(break)
They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you
tell you anything you want to hear
they give you tablets of love
they're waiting for you, got to score you
handy with a shovel and so sincere
ooh, they got the kid glove
You just want someone to talk to
they just wanna get their hands on you
you get whatever you choose
oh no, you can't do that
once you started wearin' those shoes
oh no, you can't do that
once you started wearin' those shoes
26-TOO MANY HANDS – Re m
The Eagles
She's one of a kind
Sometimes hard to find
Like a rainbow
Well, she's lost all her glory
And could tell you some stories
That we all should know
And there's too many hands
Being laid on her
Too many eyes
will never see
That it's dragging her down
But you won't hear a sound as
She turns 'round
Her beauty all aflight
It always seems to turn the tide
At midnight
And for her there is no rest
We are doing what is best
For our future
One of these days she may not
Be so good to you
One of these days she might
Shake you to the ground
But her fire is still Burning
And her heart is still yearning
To be found
There're too many hands
Being laid on her
Too many eyes will never see
That it's dragging her down
Still you won't hear a sound as
She turns 'round
27-TRAIN LEAVES HERE THIS MORNING – Mi M
The Eagles
I lost ten points just for being
in the right place
at exactly the wrong time
I looked right at the facts there,
but I may as well have
been completely blind
So, if you see me walking all alone
Don't look back, I'm just on my
way back home
there's a train leaves here this morning,
and I don't know,
what I might be on
She signed me to a contract,
baby said it would
all be so life long
I looked around then for a reason
when there wasn't something more
to blame it on
But, if time makes a difference
while we're gone
Tell me now, and I won't be hanging on
There's a train leaves here this morning
and I don't know,
what I might be on
(break)
1320 North Columbus
was the address
that I wrote down on my sleeve
I don't know just what she wanted
might have been
that it was getting time to leave
and I watched as the smoker passed it on
and I laughed when the joker said, "Lead on."
cause there's a train leaves here this morning
and I don't know,
what I might be on
And there's train leaves here this morning
and I don't know,
what I might be on (2X)28-WASTED TIME – Do M
The Eagles
Well baby, there you stand
with your little head, down in your hand
oh, my god, you can't believe
it's happening again
your baby's gone, and you're all alone
and it looks like the end.
And you're back out on the street.
and you're tryin' to remember.
how will you start it over?
you don't know what became.
you don't care much for a stranger's touch,
but you can't hold your man.
You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
and i know what's been on your mind
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell
you didn't love the boy too much,
no, no you just loved
the boy to well, farewell
So you live from day to day,
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
and the hours go by like minutes
and the shadows come to stay
so you take a little something
to make them go away
and i could have done so many things,
baby if i could only stop my mind
from wondrin' what i left behind
and from worrying 'bout this wasted time
Ooh, another love has come and gone
ooh, and the years keep rushing on
i remember what you told me
before you went out on your own:
"sometimes to keep it together,
we got to leave it alone."
so you can get on with your search, baby,
and i can get on with mine
and maybe someday we will find ,
that it wasn't really wasted time
mm,hm
oh hoo, ooh, ohh,
ooh,ooh, mm

The Eagles
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
Wooo hooo witchy woman
see how
High she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman

She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another Room
and she drove herself to madness
With a silver spoon
Woo hoo witchy woman
see how
high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
she got the moon in her eye
Well i know you want a lover,
Let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
In the devil's bed.

Someone's underground
She can rock you in the nighttime
'til your skin turns red
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she fliesWoo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

The Eagles
Somebody's gonna hurt someone

31-WALKING IN MEMPHIS – Do M
Eagles
Put on my blue suede shoes and I
boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy
won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be.
Chorus:
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
(Chorus)
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"32-MY MAN - C1 Mi M
Eagles
Tell me the truth,
how do you feel?
Like you're rollin' so fast
that you're spinnin' your wheels?
Don't feel too bad,
you're not all alone
We're all tryin' to get along
With ev'rybody else
try'n' to go their way
You're bound to get tripped,
and what can you say?
Just go along
'til they turn out the lights
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
No man's got it made
till he's far beyond the pain
And we who must remain
go on living just the same
I once knew a man,
very talented guy
He's sing for the people
and people would cry
They knew that his song
came from deep down inside
You could hear it in his voice
and see it in his eyes …
And so he traveled along,
touch your heart, then be gone
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old
hickory wind called him home
My man's got it made
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain
go on living just the same
We who must remain
go on laughing just the same33-PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS – La M
Eagles
Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas by New Years night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
34-MOST OF US ARE SAD – Do M
Eagles
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I’ve been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
Tell me scarlet sun
What will time allow?
We have brought our children
Here who can save them now?
CHORUS:
Oh, weeping woman try to smile
Like the coming dawn
Most of us are sad it’s true
Still we must go on
35-THE GREEKS DON'T WANT NO FREAKS – Do M
Eagles
There was beer all over the dance floor
and the band was playin' rhythm and blues
You got down and did the gator,
and half an hour later,
you were barfin' all over
your Girlfriend's shoes.
But the Greeks don't want no freaks.
The Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put a little smile
on them rosy cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks.
She was the pride and the passion of Dixie
She did exactly what her daddy had planned.
She was perfect little sister
until somebody missed her
and they found her in the bushes
with the boys in the band
But the Greeks don't want no freaks
The Greeks don't want no freaks
So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Said, the Greeks don't want no freaks
Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks
'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks
No, the Greeks don't want no freaks,
Ahh...
36-MIDNIGHT FLYER – Sol M
Eagles
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.
A runaway team of horses
ain't enough to make me stay.
So, throw your rope on another man,
And pull him down your way.
Make him into someone
who can take the place of me.
Make him every kind of fool
you wanted me to be.
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.
Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe,
maybe San Antoine,
Any town is where I'm bound
any way to get me gone.
Don't think about me,
never let me cross your mind,
'Cept when you hear that midnight
lonesome whistle whine.
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Oooo, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.
Ooooh, midnight flyer,
Engineer, won't you let your whistle moan?
Oooo, midnight flyer,
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.
I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on....37-HOLE IN THE WORLD – La M
Eagles
[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
But all this fighting over who is anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind
[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
Cool water running through the burning sand,
Until we learn to love one another
We will never reach the promised land.
[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
[Repeat chorus: (a cappella)]
[Repeat chorus: 4x's (fade out)]
38-EARLYBIRD – Sol m
Eagles
Early in the morning,
About the break of day.
The earlybird is working,
So his life don’t fade away.
He'll spend his days denying that,
He’s got no time for flying,
In the breeze.
High up on his own,
the eagle flies alone,
And he is free..
The earlybird is scratching,
though the going’s getting tough,
Time is passing by him,
and he just can’t get enough.
He’ll tell you all is going well,
but knows that something's wrong.
The earlybird will wake one day,
and find his life is gone...
You know I like to lay in bed,
And sleep out in the sun.
Reading books and playing crazy music..
Just for fun.
You know it makes feel so fine,
And sets my mind at ease,
to know that I don’t harm a soul,
In doing what I please...
Aaahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh.....
Aaahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh.....
Any old day you say,
Ain’t gonna fade away
Any old day you say,
Ain’t gonna fade away..
Any old day you say,
Ain’t gonna fade away..
Any old day you say,
Ain’t gonna fade away..
Any old day you say,
Ain’t gonna fade away..
(Fade away..;)
39-GET OVER IT – Re m
Eagles
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers
ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it
It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it40-VICTIM OF LOVE – Sol m
Eagles
What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar and he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
And you know how to play it so well
Some people never come clean
I think you know what I mean
You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire
Looking for love in between
Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine
This ain't no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends, your 'been around the world' friends
That talk is for losers and fools
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
Show me what kind of love have you got?
Victim of love, you're just a victim of love
I could be wrong, but I'm not, no I'm not
Victim of love, now you're a victim of love
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?41-BORN TO BOOGIE – La m
Eagles
Well, I was born, I was born to boogie
People, I was born
Said I was born to boogie
I'm gon' boogie now
Everybody's born to boogie
Every little person born to boogie
Even old people should boogie
I'm gonna boogie
Every roadie should boogie
Every grandmother should boogie
I think the Pope could boogie
He got soul
I said, The Pope's got soul
I said, The Pope's got soul
42-DISCO STRANGLER – Do M
Eagles
Lookin' for the good life
Dressed to kill
She don't have to worry
'Cause there's always someone else who will
Loose and loaded every night
Dancin' underneath the flashin' light
Saying, "Look at me, baby, look at me
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody"
Just slip into the arms
of the disco strangler
He's been around here all along, baby
Been waiting for his time to come
You lookin' for attention, darlin'
He will surely give you some
He's the crimson in your face du jour
The fiddler in your darkest night
He's the melody without a cure
And Rome is burning, but that's all right
Just slip into the arms…
43-GOOD DAY IN HELL – Si M
Eagles
Groovin', can't you see she wants you?
She has you deep in her eye.
You've been wondering why she haunts you;
Beauty is the devil's disguise.
She can tell you all about it,
she sees it in the stars.
She'll burn you if you try to put her down.
Oh well, it's been a good day in Hell,
tomorrow I'll be glory bound.
Fire, she can keep you loaded,
feeding you whiskey and wine.
Fire, devils on the phone
he laughs and says your doing this fine.
In that big book of names
I want to go down in flames,
seein' as how I'm going down.
44-HOLLYWOOD WALTZ – Mi M
Eagles
Springtime, and the acacias are blooming
Southern California will see one more day
Dreamland, and bus'ness is booming,
The birds are a singing as I drift away
She looks another year older,
From too many lovers who used her and ran
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel
And she's always willing to hold you again
So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken
Learn how to love her with all of her faults
She gave more than she's taken,
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz
Springtime and the lady is grieving
The lovers just stand there with nothing to say
They got what they wanted,
They're packing and leaving
To look for another to love the same way
So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken
Learn how to love her
With all of her faults
She gave more than she's taken
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz
The Hollywood Waltz
45-OL' 55 – Do M
Eagles
Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five
As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy,
God knows I was feelin' alive
And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
Six in the morning, gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way
Now the cars are all passin' me,
Trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place...
46-IS IT TRUE? – Re M
Eagles
How come you love him when he takes you for a fool,
he's only looking for a good time.
How can he love you when he treats you mean cruel,
he's not the best thing that you could find.
Is it true? I can't believe it.
Is it true? I just can't see it.
Is it true? Is that you?
When we were young we didn't really have a care,
you were hung up, I had a good line.
I never knew it then but, man, I was in love.
How could I know it was the right time?
Is it true, you've lost that feelin'?
Is it true, you might be leavin'?
Is it true? Don't wanna find out.
Yes, I was so wrong for leading you on,
there wasn't much I could do.
I was a wild one but I can change some
if that's important to you.
Is it true, you've lost that feelin'?...
47-PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW – C1 Re M
Eagles
Hi there, how are 'ya? It's been a long time
It seems like we've come a long way
My, but we learn so slow
And heroes, they come and they go
And leave us behind
as if we're s'pposed to know
Why ... Oh tell me why
Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
And why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well
fools with your fortunes
Someone should send you a rose
With love from a friend
It's nice to hear from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember, places to go
Pretty maids all in a row
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ...
48-TEENAGE JAIL – Mi M
Eagles
Stare out the window,
You can't make the time go
You don't even know why you're here
Wait for the weekend
to go off the deep end
and make everything disappear
You're lost in a teenage jail …
So young and so vicious
and so frail where something
is always for sale
You're lost in a teenage jail. ..
You're not like your mothers.
you're not like the others
You're not quite like anyone else,
They don't even know you,
Got nothing to show you,
So get something good for yourself
49-OUTLAW MAN – Mi m
Eagles
I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a Bible
In the other I've got a gun
Well, don't you know me
I'm the man who won
Woman don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers,
They quickly come and go
And all my love's in danger,
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
oo....
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
Some me call me Abel,
Some men call me Cain,
Some men call me sinner, Lord
Some men call me saint
Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then there's nothin' left to gain
Outlaw man

Eagles
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons and you got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
Ooh ... someone to be kind to
In between the dark and the light
Ooh ... coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams
Now we're gonna find one
Mmmm ... one that really screams
I've been searching for the daughter of the Devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight
Ooh ... loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right, oh-whoa-oh
Ooh ... coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
(One of these nights ...)
Ooh, in between the dark and the light
Coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get ya, baby, one of these nights
(One of these nights ...)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
(One of these nights ...)
I can feel it, I can feel it
(One of these nights ...)
Coming right behind you,
swear I'm gonna find you now ...
(One of these nights ...)
It gets so dark,
so dark and all alone
(One of these nights ...)
One of these crazy,
crazy, crazy nights
(One of these nights ...)
Swear I'm gonna find you
coming right behind you
(One of these nights ...)
Hoo-hoo-oh-oh-oh-oh
(One of these nights ...)
I wanna say aaah ...
(One of these nights ...)
One of these, one of these
(One of these nights ...)
Coming right behind you,
swear I'm gonna find you
(One of these nights ...)
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
One of these nights
51-THE LAST RESORT – Mi M
Eagles
She came from Providence,
One in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
Heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
Like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place
People were smilin'
They spoke about the red man's way,
How they loved the land
They came from everywhere
To the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
Or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars,
Out for a good time,
Can't wait to tell you all,
What it's like up there
They called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
While the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast,
To the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
Hungry for power
To light their neon way
Give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes,
And Jesus people bought 'em
You can leave it all behind
Sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did,
So many years ago
They even brought a neon sign said:
"Jesus is coming"
Brought the white man's burden down
Brought the white man's reign
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satifsfy our endless needs
And justify our bloody deeds,
In the name of destiny
And in the name of God
And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about
What it's like up there
They call it paradise
I don't know why
You call someplace paradise,
Kiss it goodbye52-TRY AND LOVE AGAIN – Re M
Eagles
When you're out there on your own
Where your memories can find you
Like a circle goes around
You were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to
One by one, the lonely feelings come
Day by day, they slowly fade away
Ooh, the look was in her eyes
you never know what might be found there
She was dancing right in time
And the moves she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her
Should I stay or go? I really want to know
Would I loose or win if I try and love again?
Oh gonna try and love again
Oh I'm gonna try and love again
Oh I'm gonna try and love
Right or wrong, what's done is done
It's only moments that we borrow
But the thoughts will linger on
Of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Well, it might take years to see
Through all these tears
Don't let go, when you find it you will know
Oh, gonna try and love again
Oh, gonna try and love again
Oh, gonna try and love again
Oh
Sometimes lose, sometimes win
Sometimes you need a friend
Oh
Oh
Gonna try
Gonna try
Gonna try, gonna try, gonna try, gonna try
53-VICTIM OF LOVE – Sol m
Eagles
What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot
I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar and he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
Victim of love , I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, it's such an easy part
And you know how to play it so well
Some people never come clean
I think you know what I mean
You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire
Looking for love in between
Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine
This ain't no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends,
Your "been around the world" friends
That talk is for losers and fools
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not, no I'm not
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
Show me, what kind of love have you got?
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I'm not
Victim of love, we're not so far apart
Show me, what kind of love have you got?
Victim of love, you're just a victim of love
I could be wrong , but I'm not, no I'm not
Victim of love, now you're a victim of love
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
54-TAKE THE DEVIL – Fa# m
Eagles
Open up your eyes
take the devil from your mind
he's been holding on to you
and you're so hard
to find
the wind outside is cold
restless feeling in my soul
tempting me to get away
but there's no place
a man can go
God,
will you lead me where I roam?
Help me
not to let my feelings show
No, No
You are the one,
oh, how could you be so blind?
the devil prays on runaways
he's never far
behind
