Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay

against your skin so brown

and I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight

with a billion stars all around

Chorus

'cause I got a peaceful, easy feelin'

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm a-already standin'

on the ground

Interlude

Verse 2

And I found out a long time ago

what a woman can do to your soul

Ah, but she can't take you any way

you don't already know how to go.

Chorus

And I got a peaceful, easy feelin'

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm a-already standin'

on the ground

Instrumental verse

verse and chorus progressions)

Verse 3

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

Chorus

'cause I got a peaceful, easy feelin'

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm a-already standin'

I'm a-already standin'

yes I'm a-already standin'

on the ground

Outro

end on E

Chords Used:

/ X01202

The F#madd4 chord in particular was clearly visible in an Eagles video, as

were the A-Asus2 and B7-B7/A changes. There are other ways to play F#madd4

but I think this is the easiest, which is probably why Frey chose to use it.

They definitely play this in the key of E, but on the studio recording from

Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) they aren't tuned to concert standard

(A=440hz), or to anything else that makes sense, like a half-step flat. I

find that if I set my tuner to A=433hz it comes out just right. The same is

true of Take It Easy, so my best guess is that whatever they tuned to in

the studio was off a bit. Play this along with the studio recording and

you'll see what I mean.

This is a modification of another entry I found here, but I can't remember

whose it was. Constructive criticism is most welcome. Enjoy!
