LYIN' EYES Don Henley & Glenn Frey The Eagles One of these Nights 1975 For this song, I have the acoustic chords, and a background electric part. The chords appear first, then I'll go through the electric part because it will get in the way otherwise. **ACOUSTIC (GUITAR 1) INTRO: G Gmaj7 C Am D7 G G Gmaj7 C City girls just seem to find out early, Am D7 how to open doors with just a smile. G Gmaj7 C A rich old man and she won't have to worry; Am C G she'll dress up all in lace and go in style. Late at night her big old house gets lonely; I guess every form of 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 goin' as she's leavin'. She's headed for the cheatin' side of town. Chorus G C/G G G/F# Em Bm Am D7 You can't hi - de your lyin' eyes, and your smile is a thin disguise. G F/G C A7 Am D G I thought by now you'd real - ize there ain't no way to hide those lying 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 that its only for a while She says that soon she'll be coming back forever She pulls away and leaves him with a smile (Chorus) 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 to cry. 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 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 old girl you used to be. (Chorus) There aint no way to hide your lyin eyes Honey you cant hide your lyin eyes G Gmaj7 Am D7 G Gmaj7 Am D7 G Gmaj7 Am D7 G C G CHORDS: Gmaj7 3x0032 C/G 3x2010 F/G 3x3211 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **ELECTRIC (GUITAR 2) + signs indicate the beat chord symbols represent GUITAR 1 If a bend appears (7^) the number over the ^ tells how much (1, 1/2, etc.) INTRO: G Gmaj7 C + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + e:-3----------|-2-------2h3p2---|-0----------|-----------------| B:-3----------|---0---0---------|------------|-0-----------0---| G:-0----------|-----0-----------|------------|---2p0-2-2-------| D:-0----------|-----------------|------------|---------------2~| A:------------|-----------------|------------|-----------------| E:------------|-----------------|------------|-----------------| Am D7 G + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + e:--------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B:--------------|-----------------|-----7h8p7---5/7\|5---3h5p3---2--1-| G:-------0--2h4-|-2h4-2---0-----0-|-----7h9p7---5/7\|5---4h5p4---3--2-| D:~~~~~~--------|-------------4---|-----------------|-----------------| A:--------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E:--------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G + + + + e:-7----------| B:-8----------| G:-7----------| D:------------| A:------------| E:------------| Now GUITAR 2 chills until after the line: "I guess every form of refuge has its price", after which it plays this: refuge has its price_____ And it Am D 1 1 1 + + + + + + + + + + + + e:--------------------|-------------------|-10---------------| B:--------------------|----13-------------|-----10-----------| G:--------------------|-------12^p11--9^--|---------9^p7-----| D:--------------------|-------------------|------------------| A:--------------------|-------------------|------------------| E:--------------------|-------------------|------------------| breaks her heart to think her love is on - ly G Gmaj7 C 1/2 hold bend + + + + + + + + + + + + e:------------------------|----------------------|-----------------| B:-8----------------------|----------------------|-12^~~~~~~~~~~~~-| G:------------------------|----------------------|-----------------| D:------------------------|----------------------|-----------------| A:------------------------|----------------------|-----------------| E:------------------------|----------------------|-----------------| given to a__ man... 1 Am + + + + + + + + e:-------------7----|---------------| B:-10^-----10-------|---------------| G:---------------9~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~--| D:------------------|---------------| A:------------------|---------------| E:------------------|---------------| At the beginning of the next verse, this thing happens.
