Eagles – Love Will Keep Us Alive

Album: Hell Freezes Over

Written by: Vale/Capaldi/Carrack

The great tabbist: John Emilian – MeTalkingXIV@aol.com
Credits: Tiab Lokman on part of the chorus 
and: Jeff Smith on basic picking patterns and some of the chords used



This is for people who hate seeing “this isn’t exactly how it sounds, but close.” Or “figure out the rest by yourself” I am a perfectionist, but I guess I shouldn’t brag about it, I do make mistakes.

There were not any near-100% correct tablations for this song so I decided I would make one.  

You can mix up the picking a little bit. The way I tabbed it is how I play it, though. There aren’t any rules to how you play a song so play it as you please. This is a fun, easy song. Gotta love the Eagles.

And Mr. Smith is right… this song does seem to please the ladies. ;)

|  1b(2) – this would mean to pick the note on fret 1,      |
|          and bend it up a semi-tone (half step) to        |
|          sound like the note on fret 2.                   |

Intro: (with chord harmony, the only part I left out is the few seconds
        of lead guitar in the intro, which is acoustic with a slide)

(It could be said that the lead part is being played with a slide,
 but it sounds perfect playing it the way it’s tabbed.)
