He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4
He kind of had a craving for something no one else could see
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4
They said that he was crazy, the kind that no lady should meet
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4 A
He ran off to the city, and wandered around in the street
Dsus4 E5 E A/E E E5 E
He wants to dance, oh yeah!
A/E E E5 E A/E E E5 E
He wants to sing, oh yeah!
A/E G D Asus4 A
He wants to see the lights aflashing, and listen to the thundering
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4
He saw it in a win___dow, a mark of a new kind of man
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4
He kind of liked the feeling, so shiny smooth in his hand
A C G C G D A
He took it to the country, and practised for days without rest
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4 A
And then one day he felt it, he knew he could stand with the best

They got respect, oh yeah!
A/E E E5 E A/E E E5 E

And it's a certain kind of fool who likes to hear the sound of his own name

Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A Asus4
A poster on a store front, a picture of a wanted man
A Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4
He had a reputation, spreading like fire through the land
Dsus4 D A
It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way
Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Asus4 A7
It wasn't for the running, but now he's running ev'ryday.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official EAGLES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
