TAKE IT EASY
EAGLES

I have to give credit for chords and lyrics to my pal at Cornell Dan Smith,
he had it all done, my contrabution was the electric INTRO, SOLO, and OUTRO.



INTRO:
G C/G Am7/G
G C/G Am7/G

G G
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load,
D C
I've got seven women on my mind.
G D
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me,
C G
one says she's a friend of mine.
Em C G
Take it easy, take it ea - sy,
Am C Em
don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.
C G C G
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand,
Am C G
just find a place to make your stand and take it easy.

G
Well, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
D C
and such a fine sight to see:
G D
it's a girl, my Lord, in a flat bed Ford
C G
slowin' down to take a look at me.
Em D C G
Come on, ba - by, don't say may - be.
Am C Em
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
C G C G
We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again.
Am C G
So open up, I'm climbin' in, so take it easy.

In the third verse, 2nd line, on the word "mind", the correct chord is Am, not a C.

We're also missing some chord changes in the guitar solo. Line 3 should have a "D" chord after the Em and line 4 "G" should be an Em followed by a "D" before going into the final verse
