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

**ELECTRIC (GUITAR 2)
+ signs indicate the beat

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

At the beginning of the next verse, this thing happens.  I'll call it
Harmonic Figure 1
The ! means play harmonics.

               So she   tells him...
   G                    G
   +  +  +     +        +      +    +  +
e:-------------!------|------------------|
B:----------!--7------|-!----------------|
G:-------!--7---------|-5----------------|
D:-------7------------|------------------|
A:--------------------|------------------|
E:--------------------|------------------|


After that they do what I will call Figure 2.

|Figure 2*****************************|
                  to  comfort an old friend   who's feelin' down__
   C                 Am

D:-----7-------6---|-----5----4\3-2----|-0--------------|
A:-----------------|-------------------|----------------|
E:-----------------|-------------------|----------------|


Then, before "She's headed for the cheatin' side", they play Figure 2
again, then they do this thing and go into the chorus.

...headed__ for__ the   cheatin'_  side of town______
   Am                   C                         G

Then they do the intro over again, and then GUITAR 2 chills
for a while longer.  It plays Harmonic Figure 1 right before
"She rushes to his arms...", then plays Figure 2 before
"She whispers that it's only for a while", then does this thing.

...while.                      She  swears that...
   D                                G

E:-------------|------------------|------------------|

Then play Figure 2 and go into the chorus.

During the next verse, the mandolin comes in,
and after "She thinks about a boy she knew in
school" they play this.  If you see a ; over
a note, it means trill.

Before "You set it up so well...", play Figure 2,
then do this really cool line.
