This is a tremendous Bernie Leadon song off On the Border. It's easy to play,
so have fun with it. The intro is the only tab I have notated, the rest is
just chords. Bernie is my favorite Eagles vocalist, even though he doesn't sing
much, so I love this song. Good luck!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now, GUITAR 1 plays these chords
FTell mFmaj7e the truth, how do you feel?
Like Bbyou're Gmrollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
FDon't fCeel too bad, you're not all alone
We're Bbmaj7all tryin' tGmo get along
With ev'rybody else tryin' 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
Till he's G7far beDmyond the Bbpain
And Fwe whCo muDmst remain
CGo on Bbmaj7living Cjust the FsameC
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 Bbmaj7could hear Gmit iFn his voice and see it in his eyes
And Fmaj7so he trBbaveled aGmlong, touch your heart, then be gone
Like a Fflower, Che bBbloomed tGmill that old hickory wind called him home
He's gone far beyond the pain
And we who must remain go on living just the same
FWe who Cmust reDmmain Cgo Bbon laCughinFg just the same
